Seven rising seniors at Westhampton Beach High School are spending their summer
immersed in science through Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Student Partnerships for Advanced Research and Knowledge program. Two of the students participating this year returned to the SPARK program to
continue work on their Advanced Placement Research projects. Abigail Curran is studying
microplastic association with antibiotic-resistant bacteria and Graelyn LoRusso is
exploring sunscreen accumulation in larval clams. Both are using the lab’s Frontier Infrared Spectroscopy Beamline technology for their research. So far, new SPARK participants Halle Gellerew, Fahtima Iqbal, James Monseratte, Jordan Razzano and Zoey Rudolph have learned about infrared spectroscopy, designed and conducted a microplastic analysis experiment and determined the chemical composition of
the plastic using infrared microscopy. COURTESY WESTHAMPTON BEACH SCHOOL DISTRICT
