RPI Campus Closed due to COVID-19

Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute closed its campus for the foreseeable future in response to COVID-19. The RPI-based project team will begin working remotely and are fortunate that we will be able to continue video interviews with community-engaged soil researchers. We are reevaluating our initial project timelines, and expect to delay our initial visit to Chile (originally scheduled May 2020) and Dan’s visit to Mónica’s laboratory at the University of Arizona for continuing to develop the Community Soil Study Toolkit (originally scheduled July 2020 through December 2020). We hope that our plan to hold collaborative soil workshops in North Troy in Spring 2021 will be feasible, and are thinking through ideas of how to conduct such a workshop with physical distancing. Try to be safe!
