My lab explores the behavioral and neuron-specific effects of common lawn chemicals on the beneficial soil nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. C. elegans is a terrific model organism for exploring mechanisms of toxicity. We are also concerned about the effects of chemical use in gardens and agricultural settings on overall soil health, particularly on nematodes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vassar.edu\/faculty\/kasusman\/#longBio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Professor Susman<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo: Buck Lewis \/ Vassar College<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever wonder how those garden chemicals that give you healthier-looking vegetables affect the soil organisms that keep the soil rich and healthy?
