ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A pair of University of Michigan researchers are putting the “pee” in peony.
Rather, they’re putting pee ON peonies.
Environmental engineering professors Nancy Love and Krista Wigginton are regular visitors to the Ann Arbor school’s Nichols Arboretum, where they have been applying urine-based fertilizer to the heirloom peony beds ahead of the flowers’ annual spring bloom.
On February 8, 2022, three faculty members who have received one of the University of Michigan’s top honors will talk about their career work.
In her presentation, Nancy Love focused on her career-long emphasis on the effectiveness and limitations of water treatment approaches used to provide high-quality drinking water and sanitation services in both the United States and in urban settings in low-income countries.
Nancy Love presented this keynote as part of the 2020 Rich Earth Summit: Reclaiming Urine as a Resource. She is introduced here by Rich Earth co-founder and Executive Director Kim Nace.
