Eight Forty-Eight's Gianofer Fields takes listeners to a notorious part of the Chicago River—Bubbly Creek—for a little scientific experimentation to see just how polluted it is. She took bacteria samples from two bodies and her goal was to put them in a box under her desk and regularly test the samples to see which grew the most bacteria.
