Huge congratulations to all those who were awarded funding through NSF’s GRFP program. Our lab is fortunate to have two such awardees, Kristin Jayd and Max Ferlauto!!
Kristin will be starting the Entomology Master’s program in Fall 2020. She will be looking at parasitoid wasps and their relationships via morphology, molecular analysis and museum curation. Max is a current Master’s student studying leaf litter management practices on overwintering insects.
Max has also won a couple of other awards this spring: the Smithsonian Graduate Student Fellowship and the Joan Mosenthal Dewind Award through Xerces Society.
Good luck to both of you. We are proud of the work you’ve done so far and can’t wait to see what else you’re able to accomplish in the coming years!
