The Annual Cornerstone Event is hosted by the College of Agriculture & Natural Resources at the University of Maryland and gives undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to present posters about their research. The Lamp Lab contributed three posters to this event.
Ph.D. student Helen Craig was awarded first place in the Healthy Food Systems category for her poster titled "In vitro and in situ evaluations of black soldier fly larvae as a methane-mitigating protein substitute in dairy cattle diets". Woohoo Helen!! Her results show that there are no detected negative effects of partially substituting soybean meal with black soldier fly larvae meal in dairy cattle diets, however, more research is needed to confirm the methane-mitigating effects.
Zoey Blackman, an undergraduate student advised by Helen, presented a poster titled “Investigating demographic effect on human perception of insects as a food source”. She has been working with Helen for over a year to compose, distribute, and analyze surveys that probe the general public about their views of entomophagy.
Katherine Siniuk and Yasmine Helbling presented a poster titled “Diversity of Predaceous Arthropods in Agricultural Drainage Ditches”. They have both been statistically analyzing data collected from the Delmarva peninsula in efforts to determine the family-level diversity of predators that utilize the semi-natural habitat created by the agricultural drainage ditches.
