Halmos Biology Symposium Discusses Using Insects to Control Weeds

On Friday, January 31, the Halmos College Department of Biological Sciences hosted a symposium entitled, “Using Insects to Control Invasive Weeds”. This was presented by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) researcher Ashley Goode, Ph.D. Goode and her USDA colleagues are developing new tools for controlling invasive species, and much of this research happens right across the road from our NSU Fort Lauderdale/Davie campus.

In this seminar, Goode shared recent highlights from her career in conservation research. She also talked to NSU students on how they can get involved in a variety of ongoing USDA research projects.
