Dr. Evangelista's Research on Heteronotinae
2013-04-22
Brazilian treehopper specialist Dr. Olivia Evangelista recently accepted a postdoctoral appointment at the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, where she is continuing her research on the treehopper subfamily Heteronotinae. Currently, she is compiling needed DNA data in the molecular lab of Dr. Julie Urban (Nature Research Center, North Carolina Museum of Natural Science, Raleigh). While in Raleigh, Olivia presented two fantastic talks on treehoppers, including one (hosted by Science Comedian Brian Malow) inside the dome of the Center's Daily Planet.
