BioQuip Undergraduate Scholarship

Each year, BioQuip sponsors a $2,000 scholarship to an undergraduate student intending to pursue a career in Entomology. The 2009 - 2010 scholarship winner is Dale Halbritter, a senior at the University of California, Riverside, majoring in Entomology.

Dale has a 3.94 GPA, and is on the Dean's Honor List. His special interest has been Lepidoptera, especially Pieridae and intraspecific genetic variations within this family. Dale's most recent research project is a behavioral study on the northern fowl mite and the chicken body louse. He plans to publish a paper with Professor Bradley Mullens describing the results of his research.

From Dale's application statement, "Whether I work on the human-insect frontier (i.e. veterinary, agriculture, invasive species, etc.), with monitoring sensitive habitats, or on conservation projects, I hope to make a difference in a world that is facing many environmental crises. My goal is to utilize and gain knowledge of insect-insect and insect-plant interactions to address the problems we humans have encountered or created in our synthetic environment and in the planet's natural ecosystems."

Dale anticipates pursuing his avid interest in entomology in graduate school.
