and his assistant, Jordan Oliver, a senior at Edward Waters University, are on a mission to find out what kind of pollen is flying in the air. They look at microscopic images of tiny particles.They use that data to help people stay aware of which pollen can attack their health.The Edward Waters University campus is inside Health Zone One. Health Zone One is the core of Jacksonville.
Once a week, Dr. Seymour and Oliver climb up a ladder to the roof of a dorm on the EWU campus to collect new data on pollen. It is examined under a microscope and highlighted with a pink dye. Dr. Seymour can see the difference in each pollen type. He counts the pollen one by one.
