I grew up in Portland,
Oregon. I moved out to Hawai'i to do my undergraduate degree. I
am a senior, and I'll be graduating in the spring with a BA in Biology.
I am currently working on maintaining
the lab colony of the wekiu bug, Nysius wekiuicola. The
scope of the work involves maintaining experiments to create a temperature-dependent
growth curve, determine birth rates, and acquire longevity information. These
components are being used to create a robust life history of the
wekiu bug suitable for conservation and land management decisions
on Mauna Kea. |
