During the 2020-21 academic year and the COVID-19 pandemic, Norwich University students and faculty members developed a team and process for testing wastewater on campus for early detection of the novel coronavirus. (Photo by Mark Collier, Norwich University.)

NORTHFIELD, Vt. — Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers at Norwich University, St. Michael’s College and the University of Vermont partnered with municipal wastewater officials and state agency representatives to conduct wastewater surveillance for the SARS-CoV-2 virus and develop wastewater-based risk assessment tools for COVID-19. The tools can also be applied to other environmental health hazards that may emerge in Vermont.

Jennifer Bryan began painting in 2018 as therapy — her marriage was ending, she was on her own again, and she found putting figures on paper calming and cathartic. She started drawing, sometimes making single-line drawings, then advanced to fingerpaints and eventually, acrylic paints. Canvas replaced paper; paintbrushes replaced fingers.
