Linda Shenk and Jean Goodwin are part of a 9-member team at ISU that received a one-year $50,000 grant from the VPR’s office with additional funding from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the College of Engineering, and the College of Design to work on a partnership with the City of Des Moines involving data-driven science and sustainability.
