Project 4 postdoc Mariana Marcos-Hernandez orchestrated an outreach event to a STEM-focused high school in Phoenix, AZ to teach students about safe drinking water.

They also conducted a filter demonstration so the students could see for themselves how a commercially available filter can capture and remove the arsenic.
