Bella wins yet another award!

Our lab is very proud of Bella. She won the 2024 Outstanding Student Oral Presentation Award at the 10th Annual World Congress of Herpetology. Bella presented her work titled Welcome to Miami: Reproductive Traits and Pathogen Potential of Introduced Caecilians (Typhlonectes Natans) in Florida. Bella is an undergraduate researcher in our lab group, but also in other labs at UF. She presented work that she conducted as part of Ana Longo’s Lab in Biology. We are big fans of Bella and Dr. Longo’s group.
