Charlotte brings expertise in the ecology and evolution of parasites, as well as a profound love of social insects. She is leading our collaboration with her co-advisor Prof. Sarah Kocher, to investigate the life cycles of nematodes in their halictid bee hosts. Are the nematodes parasites? commensals? mutualists? Charlotte will find out, and in the meantime she will also throw many plates on her potter’s wheel.
