![What science looks like at LSU. OAR Northwest rowers have been collecting water samples for analysis of microbes living in the Mississippi River. LSU microbiologists conduct tests on the water samples, for example extracting DNA. In this image, OAR Northwest founder Jordan Hanssen samples water from the river for the Thrash lab. "We use their DNA to figure out who they [the microbes] are and what they do." - Dr. Cameron Thrash.](http://www.lsu.edu/_resources/ldp/images/.private_ldp/a53183/production/master/e57c107a-13ea-47fd-a43a-4259c1a56b3d.jpg)
