We were pleased to hear that Yasmine (Yaz among friends), who has been associated with our lab since spring, 2023, has been awarded the $1,000 Ernest N. Cory Undergraduate Scholarship for Fall 2024. She has had a number of excellent academic achievements at the University and within our department, and especially has contributed to the well-being of the Lamp Lab through Helen Craig's Sustainability/Insect Biodiversity Project and our DNA barcoding educational module. Her current honors thesis research is conducted in growth chambers and field sites on the response of a parasitoid of pea aphids to a glandular-haired alfalfa cultivar. Congratulations, Yaz, on your accomplishments, and we look forward to more in the future!
The high school interns Aimal Abid (top left) and Ayat Hasan (top right) presented their posters at the annual Research Practicum Symposium at Eleanor Roosevelt High School. Aimal's poster was titled "Diversity of Dragonflies in Farm Ponds" and Ayat's was "Diversity of Carabid Beetles in Agricultural Ditches". The Lamp Lab is extremely proud of all the hard work they have put in this year and wish them luck at Johns Hopkins University!
