This is more of an informative review than anything else, people ask me about Tyson all the time. Its a 2,000 acre research station located outside STL off I-44 and owned by Washington University. I have a research studio here, so I go here on a regular basis for the last 25 years. It is NOT open to the public and some very serious research in the plant and animal sciences happen here not only by WU researchers, but faculty from all over the USA come here, especially in the summer.
