Congrats to Jane Quackenbush for winning our Department's Ernest N. Cory Undergraduate Scholarship! 🎉Jane has made important intellectual contributions to our lab's research on the genetics of Bt resistance. entomology.umd.edu/news/fall-2022… UMD Entomology UMD Biological Sciences

Congrats Karin Burghardt, recipient of Entomological Society of America's ECP Research Award! Karin is a🤘⭐️researcher whose work helps determine activities that allow humans to share spaces w/ a variety of native flora and fauna and maintain vital ecosystem functions. go.umd.edu/cAE

I have a new review out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ev… Thanks to David Mota-Sanchez MSU Entomology for contributing data from their insecticide resistance database!

The Fritz and Hamby labs UMD Entomology are seeking a jointly held postdoc to develop and test genomic monitoring approaches for insecticide resistance management. Please retweet. i5K ArthropodGenomes NCState Genetics and Genomics GES Center - Genetic Engineering & Society Center

🎉Mid-Atlantic Mosquito Control Association honors #GradTerp Arielle Arsenault-Benoit, PhD w/ the Bruce Harrison Outstanding Student Award. Congrats Arielle on this recognition of your research into the community composition & landscape genomics of #mosquitoes across a heterogeneous landscape.

📣We’re recruiting for the following position: Professor and Chair of @umdentomology. Please share!🪰🔬📚

Congratulations to Dr. Arielle Arsenault-Benoit Arielle Arsenault-Benoit, PhD, who successfully defended her PhD. dissertation this month! UMD Entomology 🥳

Jane Quackenbush, a long-time Fritz Lab student researcher defended her Biological Sciences undergraduate thesis with high honors today. 🎉Congratulations Jane! UMD Entomology UMD Biological Sciences

Congratulations Arielle Arsenault-Benoit, PhD - so many wonderful accomplishments in these past 5 years and so well-deserved! UMD Entomology UMD Science

Another summer, another fantastic research experience with the College of Agriculture & Natural Resources SOARE program

Thanks to Entomological Society of America for letting me join in on the fun! 🐛🐞🪰🦟🐝

FINALLY sharing our #AsianLonghornedTick success story - one of our #Tennessee #cowcalf producers made decisions that reduced ticks on their farm. We know it's just one farm, but we hope w/ more farms (& $ to work on farms) we can replicate it at others. academic.oup.com/jme/advance-ar…

~10,000 mosquitoes later, Arielle Arsenault-Benoit, PhD's newest paper is out! Congrats, Arielle! 🦟besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/26… UMD Entomology UMD Public Health UMD Research

See how UMD Entomology's Megan Fritz (Megan Fritz) is using computational resources in UMIACS to identify genomic changes in the corn earworm—considered the costliest crop pest in North America—that make it more resistant to pest management practices. go.umd.edu/Fritz

The Fritz Lab is hiring! Looking for a postdoc project lead to investigate the role of structural variants in evolution on short time scales. Please circulate!

Supported by a Dept. of Agriculture grant, two CBCB_UMD researchers are studying the corn earworm's resistance to non-chemical pesticides. Their findings could improve pest management and help sustain crop protection while preventing a tragedy of the commons. Read More: go.umd.edu/1sw7

Congratulations to Dr. Kate Taylor and all of our colleagues who made this work possible - publication just out in BMC Genomics! UMD Entomology UMIACS bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
