This week, we bid a fond farewell to Ph.D. candidate Anthony Auletta, as he heads down to Gainesville, FL to begin his new position as Lecturer of Insect Biology at the University of Florida Department of Entomology & Nematology. As a member of the teaching faculty at UF, Anthony will develop and teach a variety of entomology courses, as well as advise undergraduate students and coordinate CUREs (course-based undergraduate research experiences). It is a perfect fit for Anthony, who is passionate about entomology and undergraduate education, and we wish him the very best in Florida!
Anthony will be back to visit Minnesota next month, to formally defend his Ph.D. dissertation.
