With conferences going virtual this year, Dr. Russo was asked to make a short video introduction of her work. Naturally, we made it a team thing.

Happy to announce the addition of Postdoctoral Research Associate, Anne Murray to the Russo Lab. Her specialty is in chemical ecology and she's our greenhouse guru. She'll be playing working bee, collecting pollen and nectar from our Feed A Bee plants. Here's a picture of her in action, collecting nectar from Physostegia leptophylla, Late Obedient Plant, in a Mint plot at the Plateau AgResearch Center in Crossville, TN.
The Russo Lab was invited to assist with an ongoing effort to sample and identify bee species in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We also were given a personal tour of the insect collections. Some specimens were over 100 years old! Master's students Devon Eldridge (left) and Amani Khalil (right) |
