Katie Demeuse, an undergraduate with an entomology minor working on research in Zsofia Szendrei’s lab, won the poster competition in the University Undergraduate Research and Arts Forum (UURAF) in the Agriculture and Animal Science Section with her poster titled “Determining the Mechanism of Colorado Potato Beetle (Leptinotarsa Decemlineate) Resistance to Neonicotinoid Insecticides by Real Time PCR.”

The UURAF provides MSU undergraduate students with an opportunity to showcase their scholarship and creative activity. Held each spring, UURAF brings together an intellectual community of highly motivated students to share their work with faculty, peers, and external audiences. MSU undergraduates gain experience in presenting their research, answer questions about their work from audience members and guests, and receive constructive feedback from judges.

Congratulations, Katie!
