Qingyu receives ESA award
Qingyu was selected as a recipient of the 2025 ESA Student Section Trailblazer Awards!
Qingyu joined the lab in Fall 2023 and is studying the effects of competition on a species' ability to spread through space (e.g., like an invasive species or a species moving in response to climate change). She is using a combination of laboratory microcosms and simulation modeling. She is also passionate about science communication and helped organize a special section at last year's ESA meeting on using AI translation technology to allow international speakers to present research in their native language. In recognition of her research and her outreach efforts, the Student Section of the Ecological Society of America selected her as a recipient of this year's Trailblazer Award
