Welcome to Under the Lens

Thanks for coming to check out The Enterprise’s latest blog, focusing on science and environmental issues affecting the Upper Cape.  From alternative energy, to the wastewater/sewering debate, and the fascinating research going on at the Woods Hole science institutions, I’ll be writing weekly updates on the ways that science effects our daily lives.

While I do have a few ideas to get started, I’d like to hear what you’re interested in. Have you always wondered about that reddish water flowing from a local marsh? Are you confused about what toilets have to do with eel grass? Do you know of a scientists (or are you one yourself) whose research should be shared with the community? If so, please get in touch by posting a comment or sending me an email: hugus@capenews.net.

Thanks for reading, and check back often!
