Benning Le, a MS student from the Choe laboratory successfully defended his MS thesis today (March 9, 2022). Benning's thesis research was on the development and laboratory / field testing of boric acid hydrogel bait targeting Argentine ant populations in agricultural settings. Benning is one of the students who went through our department's new graduate program, the combined BS+MS (4+1) program.
Congrats, Benning!

Our postdoctoral scholar, Dr. Jia-Wei Tay, has successfully completed her postoctoral research, and will be leaving the Choe laboratory. Dr. Tay has been working on a novel baiting system (i.e., biodegradable hydrogel bait) for Argentine ant, one of the most important invasive pest ant species in California. She will be taking a new position in University of Hawaii soon, working on urban / structural insects. For more about her research, visit http://www.jiaweitay.com/.
The lab members had the farewell lunch with Dr. Tay on Dec 4, 2018.
Good luck and all the best for your new endeavor, Dr. Tay!
