2016 The Garden Club of America Board of Associates Centennial Pollinator Fellowship
Hamutahl Cohen is a PhD candidate at University of California, Santa Cruz. Her research examines the potential of urban agriculture to foster pollinator health and diversity. She studies how gardening and urbanization influence the spread of diseases in bees, and how planting flowers can inoculate bees with beneficial gut bacteria, supporting the bee microbiome. Her research in 18 urban gardens is complemented by workshops for gardeners on pollinator conservation and garden education initiatives with high school and college students.
