Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society of America's Eastern Branch (Saratoga Springs, NY)

I delivered a research talk titled "Associations between understory plant community composition and blacklegged tick populations in southern Vermont forests", describing our ongoing study into the role of invasive plant species in maintaining blacklegged ticks and pathogen transmission in Rutland county, Vermont. Kristen Ross, a Biology professor on the VTSU Castleton campus, was a co-author on this talk.
