Erica Harris successfully passed her qualifying exam for her Ph.D. candidacy. She will be developing her research on the monarch butterfly microbiome and its role in disease. This is a collaborative project between our lab and the lab of Jaap de Roode.

The Gerardo lab had a strong representation at the recent Emory Undergraduate Research Symposium. Congrats to Becky, Meera, Brandon and Itai for their efforts.
