Professor collects donations for flooded school labs
(AP) — Boxes full of microscopes, glassware and safety glasses have been filling up a former research lab on West Virginia State University's campus ever since a chemistry professor started collecting science equipment to donate to schools whose labs were damaged in floods earlier this year.
The June 23 floods killed 23 people and destroyed homes, businesses and infrastructure.
The donors have included West Virginia State alumni, Marshall University, Dow, Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Preiser Scientific, science equipment distributor VWR and others, Fultz said.
