Maggie is named a 3MT winner in the 2021 3MT Campus-Level Video Competition!

5/15/2021

 
Maggie produced a video entitled, "Dragons on the farm: A novel approach to determining dragonfly diet in agroecosystems," as part of the 3MT (three minute thesis) competition at the University of Maryland. This program is part of a global competition held at many universities. She was first selected in the top 20 winners at UMD, and now has been selected as one of the top 6 winners! The video describes her Masters thesis research: "Dragonflies are obligate predators as adults and can be found in agroecosystems. However, their role as predators of agricultural pests is largely unknown. Using novel molecular methods, we can investigate their diet breadth by sampling their feces and performing sequencing to detect prey DNA." You can view the video here.
