Freshwater science meets comic con. 🎮🌊
We brought the Great Lakes to @c2e2 in Chicago, and thousands of visitors discovered that food webs, invasive species, and aquaponics can be just as wild as surviving an alien ocean.
(Yes, we used Subnautica as a gateway to Great Lakes science. Yes, it worked.)

Did you know unused medications can end up in our lakes, rivers, and drinking water, affecting our wildlife and water quality? That’s why proper disposal matters. This Saturday, April 25th, take advantage of the DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day (10 a.m. – 2 p.m.) to safely and anonymously drop off expired or unused prescriptions.
Can’t make it Saturday? Our Unwanted Meds program can help you find a year-round drop-off location near you: unwantedmeds.org/how-to-dispose/find-a-drop-off-location

Happy Earth Day 🌎💙
From the Great Lakes to your local community, every action counts. Whether it’s reducing waste, protecting water, or learning something new, small steps make a big impact.
