Stone Ng
Stone Ng is an intern at the National Audubon Society. His inner environmentalist first revealed itself when, at age six, he put up signs around his house to remind family members to save energy. The signs read: “Turn off the lights… Or else.” Since then, Stone has continued to educate others and learn about the environment. He is double majoring in biology and environmental studies at Oberlin College.Stone Ng's blog

For nearly a decade, a tiny alien menace, a beetle known as the emerald ash borer, has been destroying some of the nation’s most iconic native trees. Now researchers are honing a new method that uses wasps to ferret out these invasive beetles. The technique could help prevent the spreading of the emerald ash borer, as well as benefit other imperiled plants in the future, both in the U.S. and abroad.

Although antidepressants can help people overcome depression, hopped up marine animals only belong in cartoons. Small amounts of what we consume end up in the ocean by way of rivers and estuaries in the form of wastewater. With more than thirty million people in the United States taking antidepressants, it’s not surprising that these drugs are making their way into the ocean. And the effect they’re having on wildlife is nothing to be happy about.
