Two researchers from Tulane University have won a $1 million grant to design more effective and cost efficient dispersants than those used in the cleanup of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. Scott Grayson, an associate chemistry professor at Tulane, and Wayne Reed, a Tulane physics professor, are seeking to develop dispersants that have minimal side effects if ingested by human or marine life.
