Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Updates from the Adams Lab

poster forum

The Adams' Lab had two undergraduate researchers present posters this past week at the Fall Undergraduate Student Poster Forum. Cody Cardenas presented a poster entitled, "A revisionary study of Trachymyrmex zeteki (Formicidae: Attini) and description of a new species, Trachymyrmex fovater sp. n.". Cody's work was supported by the OSU URO Summer Fellowship Research Grant and looks at morphological and molecular differences in ants, including the description of a new species. Mazie Davis presented her work on parasitic ant stinging behaviors in her poster, "To Sting or Not to Sting: When Social Parasites use their Venomous Weaponry". Mazie joined the Adams lab over the summer and will continue to study how parasitic venom effects ant behavior.
