Graduate student Corey Day has been selected as a 2022 Entomological Society of America (ESA) Science Policy Fellow. The Science Policy Fellows program is a two-year program that provides entomologists with the necessary skills to efficiently and effectively advocate for their discipline. Day’s research focuses on the spatial epidemiology of La Crosse virus disease, a significant concern in East Tennessee.

“I am so grateful for this opportunity! I can’t wait to meet the other Fellows and begin training to serve as an advocate for entomology,” Day said.

ESA is a not-for-profit scientific organization that serves the needs of entomologists and individuals in related disciplines worldwide. Each year, the organization selects five individuals for the program. To learn more about ESA, visit https://entsoc.org.
