This week’s guest is Mary Skopec, Executive Director of Iowa Lakeside Laboratory up at Miller’s Bay in Okoboji.

Having spent many years in various roles related to water quality and monitoring at the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Mary was a natural fit for the head position at Iowa Lakeside Lab. Her B.S. and M.A. degrees in geography and her interdisciplinary Ph.D. in environmental science, all from The University of Iowa, bring a wealth of knowledge to her new position.
