Brittany Harris is a Master’s student in Environmental Science, Agroecology Department, at Florida International University. Her research, titled "Insecticides and pollination of imperiled plants of the Lower Florida Keys," will investigate indirect effects of mosquito insecticide drift on rare plant reproduction resulting from non-target pollinator loss. Education is also an important component and she is developing a STEM curriculum to educate teachers and 4-H students about the importance of beneficial insects and pollinator habitat.
