Emma Pelton’s Exit Seminar
All good things must come to an end. Last week, Emma Pelton presented her research for the UW Madison Department of Entomology Seminar Series. This seminar highlighted her work for a Joint Master’s degree in Entomology and Agroecology. Her work on Spotted Wing Drosophila has gained much attention in recent years due to growing pest pressure in Midwestern fruit crops. After a successful thesis defense, Emma wasted no time, already working hard to launch a new project for the lab regarding bats and trophic cascades. Emma’s contribution has been a valuable one and she will be missed. Way to go, Emma!
