May Club Meeting: Students share findings from environmental research.

Join us on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden to hear AP Environmental Science students from the Texas Academy of Biomedical Sciences share original research from the Meter Hero project, a collaboration with the Tarrant Regional Water District and the City of Fort Worth. Using real household data from the MyH2O portal, students investigated how Winter Storm Fern impacted daily water use across Fort Worth, comparing storm conditions to a typical weekend.

Members will also hear from students in the Texas Academy of Biomedical Sciences Insect Club as they present a follow-up to their original 2024 study on the invasive plant bastard cabbage (Rapistrum rugosum) along the Trinity River. Using field observations and citizen science data from iNaturalist, students are documenting which insect species utilize this widespread plant and comparing their 2026 findings to previous results.
