Some of the BGA members visited a fellow graduate student’s middle school classes at Corpus Christi Catholic School this past week! They worked on improving their microscope skills while exploring local pond water samples and prepared plant and animal slides! How fun!

New Graduate Alert!
Meet Bailey Hettinger! 🦟🕷️
Advisor: Dr. Meghan Hermance and Dr. John McCreadie
Bailey is a Master's student in Biological sciences focusing on vector-borne diseases as a partial member of the microbiology department. In Dr. Hermance's lab she works with ticks and their associated viruses including how these viruses function in a vector for effective transmission. This project includes work with Severe Fever and Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Virus and Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks.
Her career aspirations are to continue her education toward a Ph.D. and eventually work into a public health position.
Outside of academia, she enjoys the outdoors by running, snowboarding, kayaking, swimming, or just reading a good book on the beach.
Stay tuned for more new bio grads!

Did ya know and (and several other members!) are TA’s this summer at working on Marine Conservation with students from all over… with leading the ship?
Darrien also works with Kaitlyn in the on her thesis research… and spent some time this summer doing field work them!
Being a part of the BGA allows us to work closely with all of the labs at the University of South Alabama and gain tons of working experience in every aspect of biology… even if it’s not your particular field of study. We love gaining “experience points”!
