Lina Lizgold and Momo Das join the lab to complete an Undergraduate Research Thesis where Lina will work on acid base regulation in mosquito larvae and Momo will study how sodium sulfate salts, a byproduct of lithium battery production, may impact midge larval osmoregulatory physiology.

Amber’s first publication
Amber Reinsborough published her undergraduate thesis study in the Journal of Experimental Biology on August 14, 2025 where she has shown the different effects that beet juice based de-icers have on larval midge salt and water balance compared with the traditional sodium chloride salts. This is important as municipalities expand the use of organic based de-icers, like beet juice during winter.
Congratulations Britney!
Britney Picinic defended her PhD on July 25th, 2025 and awarded the degree with High Distinction and a nomination for a Thesis Prize.
