This Wednesday, seven of our undergraduate researchers – Kenny, Cameron, Lilah, Anya, Henry, Katie, and Jasleen – showcased their hard work at Temple’s College of Science and Technology (CST) Fall Undergraduate Research Symposium. Their research topics included spotted lanternfly ecology, arthropod diversity in cemeteries, Caribbean geckos, soil fungi, and ant behavior. We’re incredibly proud of their achievements and excited to see where their research journeys take them next!
