Congratulations to Molly Magid for her Voss Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Environmental Science and Communication! This prestigious award will support Molly's amazing independent study and honors research, including summer fieldwork opportunities in Kenya.

Molly's research is at the nexus of cutting-edge molecular ecology and good old-fashioned fieldwork in conservation biology: using fly-derived DNA to help characterize vertebrate communities in diverse habitats. Basically, the flies find evidence of what vertebrates occur in local environments -- by sucking blood, eating carrion, ovipositing on feces, etc. -- and then provide us the genetic evidence. This evidence will enable our conservation partners to account for rare and cryptic animals in their activities.

This project is in collaboration with colleagues at Biodiversity Initiative (Equatorial Guinea) and Mpala Research Centre (Kenya).
