Congratulations to Mae for defending her master’s thesis earlier this week! We’ll be sad for her to leave the group (our first graduate!), but are sure she’ll be very successful in the future.
Cages for Andrea’s thesis research on the impacts of large mammal herbivory on a Catoosa County, GA, occurrence of Scutellaria montana are in the field, where they’ll remain (hopefully!) through the next two summers.
Congrats to Mae for being named a co-recipient of this year’s Sigma Xi Outstanding Research Award at UTC!
We just returned from a successful trip to the 72nd Annual Meeting of the Association of Southeastern Biologists in Huntsville, AL, during which Mae, Andrea and I presented our research. Congrats to our UTC collegues Emily Blyveis in Dr. Joey Shaw’s lab for receiving two student research awards from the Southern Appalachian Botanical Society and George Campbell in Dr. Margaret Kovach’s lab for receiving the ASB poster award!
