I study how fast poison leaking into the ground is cleaned up by microbes, and how it's possible to protect drinking water sources from that poison.
I honestly don't know how to phrase that so it sounds ridiculous or useless.
You watch trash water drain into dirt
Researchers spend $X to find out if poison kills microbes.
That just sounds like antibiotic research.
Researchers spend $X to find out if microbes kill poison
I'll take a stab at it.
"Researchers spend $X to see whether poison leaking into the ground gets into our water."
Researchers Poison Groundwater!
No, that would implicitly admitthat pollution happens, which would never occur on Fox. Better version might be "see if dirt absorbs poison"
Researchers spend $X trying to poison groundwater, thankfully foiled by bacteria.
Oh that's easy. You're the one turning Frogs gay.
Shit, you got me.
