March 21, 2019
Congratulations to Nadia Tsvetkov (PhD candidate, Zayed lab) who has been awarded the Atwal Siddoo Scholarship (valued at $2500), which is given to a graduate student at a Canadian University whose research focuses on the honey bee, Apis mellifera. Nadia’s research focuses on honey bee health and neonicotinoid insecticides. Currently, Nadia is exploring the genetic underpinnings of the natural variation found in neonicotinoid tolerance between individual honey bees.
