Congratulations to E3B MA student Laura Plimpton on her award from The Awesome Foundation!
In a statement, The Awesome Foundation said, “It is our hope that by helping to fund this research, Laura will both be able to help raise awareness of the impact of ticks in the city, while showing that you don’t ever have to leave this town to get out and study nature.”
Laura is working in the Eco-Epidemiology Lab, run by Professor Maria Diuk-Wasser.
