Jayd Presents Research in Singapore

​Kristin Jayd (Undergraduate, Gruner Lab) particpated in a poster presentation at the fifth Mangrove Macrobenthos and Management meeting held in Singapore this year. Her poster, titled "Patterns of Mangrove Seedling Herbivory Across a Salinity Gradient", presented her work done last summer in Kosrae, FSM.  Currently Jade is interning at the Smithsonian Entomology Collection at the Natural History Museum, working on micro-hymenoptera from Singapore mangrove forests. The location of this year's meeting was opportune Kristin says, "I was able to connect with people who have done the field work for that project, which I hope to roll into graduate study next year via the University of Maryland College Park’s Certificate in Museum Scholarship and Material Culture."
