When students in Donna Kashian's Aquatic Ecology lab couldn't be together due to quarantine, they found a creative way to battle their low morale.

Kashian challenged them to show off their research in one-minute science videos. Check out their submissions:

Our lab is having fun on lock down- I tasked everybody to do a Sci Com project to simply film a 1min bit on their research (an elevator talk)-how they would explain their science to the public. https://t.co/VZ2yP0EzAy @benthicbuddy @WSUBioSci @WayneStateCLAS @anna_boeg @ckrabb

Here's a quick 1 minute video I filmed on Lake Erie to highlight some of my research. Try not to get seasick. #BlackInNature #BlackAFinSTEM #lakeerie #walleye #habs #scienceiscool #BlackScientistsMatter https://t.co/yKjLKZb8G5

I can't believe it's been almost two years since I moved to Detroit, I'm so proud to be a part of this lab! / No puedo creer que ya son casi dos años desde que me mudé a Detroit ¡Estoy muy orgulloso de formar parte de este laboratorio!💪#boricua #hispanic #latino #aquaticecology https://t.co/38bTrk9Os7

In the spirit of being more participatory this year...I tried to put some extra effort into my 1 minute video #scicomm thing about my #microplastics research. I hope I explained everything clear, yall know that's not my forte. Lol.

We are nearing the end of our 1-min quarantine videos on our research (only a few left to go). Enjoy the spectacular @WSUBioSci PhD student @freshwaterkat talking about her research! @T_RUST_WSU @WayneStateCLAS pic.twitter.com/OhWkdzDGCo
