Dr. Angélica Vázquez-Ortega will address “Cleaning Up Regional Waterways” during the next livestreamed BGSU Science Café Thursday, Jan. 28, from 6:30-7:30 p.m.

An assistant professor in geochemistry at BGSU’s School of Earth, Environment and Society, Vázquez-Ortega will talk about how federal and regional agencies, higher education institutions and farmers are working collaboratively to implement agricultural best management practices in the Maumee River Watershed.
