Natasha Warner<p>Today my child-in-law (my son's partner) took me for a tour of the university's aquaponics lab, where they work and study. We took their dog along, and the dog naturally enjoyed the smells. I got to see fish and see how the whole thing works, and some of the things that can go wrong. All the systems were currently going right, though. It was really nice to see my child-in-law so confident, knowledgable, and enthusiastic, and I enjoyed seeing how the whole complicated setup works. <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/tucson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tucson</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/arizona" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arizona</span></a> <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a></p>
