Three NKU undergraduate researchers earned top honors at the 2024 annual meeting of the Entomological Society of America in Phoenix.
Trey Zinsmeister won first place for the Biodiversity, Ecology, and Behavior poster category
Ethan Waddle won first place for the Forensic, Medical, & Veterinary Entomology and Vector Biology & Management poster category
Abilene Morgan won a travel award for Medical, Urban, and Veterinary Entomology
All three students are mentored by Associate Professor Allison Parker. Dr. Parker is an eco-epidemiologist, which means she studies the intersection between ecology and disease. Her research focuses on mosquitoes, ticks and the diseases they transmit in human-dominated landscapes.
