Sara McBride<\/a>, a master\u2019s student in the Ecology and Environmental Sciences Program whose research on tick-borne disease ecology is part of a project led by Sandra De Urioste-Stone<\/a> and Allison Gardner<\/a>, has received a 2020 Edith Patch Award<\/a>. McBride\u2019s research integrates fieldwork, pathogen testing, and spatial analysis and she has created a risk map for exposure to ticks and Lyme disease in Acadia National Park.<\/p>\n

Two students who are working with Mitchell Center faculty were also named Distinguished Nominees: doctoral student tish carr and master\u2019s student Ruth Sexton, both in the Ecology and Environmental Sciences Program.\u00a0Sexton works with Adam Daigneault<\/a> to develop climate adaptation tools, data and resources targeted to farmers. Carr is working with Darren Ranco<\/a> on the Mitchell Center project, \u201cPathways and Barriers to Weaving Indigenous Science with Western Science.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

The Edith Patch Award<\/a>, named in honor of UMaine\u2019s first woman scientist, is given each year to graduate and undergraduate women in acknowledgement of distinguished work they have done while at the University of Maine, and in recognition of their promise for future contribution to the fields of science, agriculture, engineering, or environmental education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
