I have a manuscript on aphid population dynamics that is being published in Agricultural and Forest Entomology based on work I did at Wageningen. I’m still in touch with all of my international collaborators, who work at institutions in the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and Australia. We plan on doing future research together."
