We are excited to have a new Assistant Director, Dr. David Flagel, to oversee the UNDERC-West program in Montana. Dr. Flagel received his doctorate degree from the University of Notre Dame, working with Gary Belovsky on trophic cascades in the Great Lakes region. He will continue his research at UNDERC-East and plans on extending his research to UNDERC-West.
Dr. Angela Nardoni Laws, the previous UNDERC-West Assistant Director, recently started a post-doctoral position with Steve Pennings at the University of Houston, investigating how micronutrients affect insect community composition.
