Hello all! I’d like
to introduce myself as the newest member of the ALE Lab! My name is Andrea Kautz and I am excited to
be a part of this wonderful group of entomologists. I am a Master’s student with specific
interest in biocontrol. Originally from the
small town of Monroeville, Ohio, I grew up on a farm catching insects as a
favorite hobby. I completed my
undergraduate career here at OSU with a B.S. in Zoology and a minor in
Entomology.
Now I am not entirely new to the lab necessarily; I was
hired on about a year ago as an undergrad to help sort through last season’s
data for Ben… and Caitlin… and Scott….. and Chelsea of course! So needless to say, I am pretty familiar with
the current research going on in the lab.
I guess I did an okay job as an undergrad assistant because Mary decided
to take me on as her new student. Ben
even elected me to be his right-hand (wo)man this summer with his pumpkin
project! It was a busy and fast summer,
but I definitely learned a great deal about all of the effort that goes into a
successful field season.
This first semester, the plan is to come up with a sweet
project idea and plan PLAN PLAN
for the 2013 field season! Details to
come…
