This Friday (Sept 17) I am leaving for Perugia Italy to attend the Aphidophaga Conference. Aphidophaga are aphid-eating insects, and this conference will include speakers discussing a range of interesting topics including: lady beetle ecology, interactions between lady beetles and other aphid predators, aphid parasitoids, biological control of invasive aphids, and fungal diseases of aphid predators.I am really excited about the opportunity to meet researchers from around the world who are studying aphid predators and parasitoids as well as catch up with corroborators of the ALE laboratory who will be attending. Watch for highlights from the conference and photos of Italy!
Really sounds exciting Mary. I hope you have time to take pictures.
