Dan Flisek, physicist at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division teaches Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Summer Camp students about how chemistry relates to local water samples affected by last year’s Category 5 Hurricane Michael. Flisek revealed to students, with a water-quality report, pollutants found in local water reservoirs from the storm’s aftermath.

Greatest HITS: NSWC Indian Head EOD Technology Division Engages, Enthralls Students During Local STEM Event
March 21, 2019 — INDIAN HEAD, Md. ─ Tristan Bundy, 9, warily eyed the hulking explosive ordnance disposal robot slowly lurching toward him.
