Congratulations to Emily Stone, recipient of an Emerging Scholars Award from the University of Florida’s Center for Undergraduate Research!
The Emerging Scholars program supports early undergraduate students who are interested in adding a research experience to their curriculum. The award provides two semesters of support to work on a research project with a UF faculty member.
Emily is working with Dr. Sadie Ryan and the QDEC lab in the Department of Geography to explore the impacts of socioeconomic status on Aedes albopictus size and insecticide resistance. Her project is part of a larger collaboration supported by the CDC Center of Excellence in Vector Borne Diseases. Emily is a sophomore microbiology major with goals of completing a PhD in infectious disease dynamics.
