Angela was invited to talk about her life, research, and future endeavors at Canyon Hills Middle School, El Paso, TX. In this series, Angela discussed the future of the Nicklisch Laboratory and the current project. Students showed great interest in pursuing higher education programs and can’t wait for an opportunity to show what they can do during the Science Fair coming up the following month! Her words inspired student work; a team was able to extract DNA from various fruits while others researched the various insects of his local park as the seasons transitioned from Autumn to Winter.

Angela Presents at the 2024 ESA meeting
Angela was invited to present at the “Emerging Professionals in Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management” symposium which was part of the Entomological Society of America Annual meeting at Phoenix, AZ.
The ESA Program Enhancement Funds (PEF) was a travel fellowship awarded Angela to help offset for the expenses of this trip, where she presented her research on “Multidrug resistance ABC transporter ortholog expression pattern across honey bee castes“.
Bee sure we will be back next year with more exiting research to share!
Congratulations to our Jastro & Shields award recipients!
Three AgChem PhD students received the 2024-2025 Jastro-Shields fellowship award for their research proposals on:
Zeke (left)– “Characterizing Microplastics Accumulation in Wild California Rockfish”
Eli (middle)– “ Investigating the Toxicity and Biodistribution of Pollutant-Adsorbed Nanoplastics (PANs) on Lung and Glial Cells ”
Angela (right)- “C14 as a Novel Method for Tracing Pesticide Mixtures in the Honey Bee Hive”
Congratulations to Tina! – PUF Recipient
Tina received the Provost’s Undergraduate Fellowship from the Undergraduate Research Center. This fellowship will allow Tina continue working on her project, “Impacts of ABC Transporter Expression on Okadaic Acid Bioaccumulation in Mytilus Seafood Species“.
Congratulations to Zeke! – BML Grad Award
Zeke received the 2024 Dennis Salsbury & Patricia K. Salsbury Graduate Student Award for his proposal on “Fueling Coastal Microplastics Research with Community Engagement” to conduct research at Bodega Marine Laboratory.
Celebrating Latino-Hispanic Research.
Angela Encerrado presented her poster on “Enhancing knowledge of chemical exposures and fate in honey bee hives: Insights from colony structure and interactions” , and shared more about the Nicklisch Lab efforts in bee research at the Latino-Hispanic Research and Networking Symposium hosted by MGSA in Davis, CA.
Congratulations to Zeke! – BML Fellowship
Zeke received the 2024-25 Russell J. and Dorothy S. Bilinski Fellowship for his proposal on “Fueling Coastal Microplastics Research with Community Engagement” to conduct research at Bodega Marine Laboratory.
Congrats Zeke! – Donald Crosby Fellowship
Zeke received the 2024-25 Donald Crosby Fellowship in Environmental Chemistry for his proposal on “Characterizing Microplastics Leachate Accumulation in Wild Rockfish Along the California Coast” by the Annual Internal Fellowship Competition for Continuing Graduate Students.
Tina presents at an Undergraduate Conference.
Tina Truong presented our ongoing study on “Design and Optimization of a Novel Method to Asses the Impact of Okadaic Acid in Mytilus Species” and shared her plans for the future of this project at the 35th Annual Undergraduate Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities Conference in Davis, CA.
Jagan presents at the UC Davis Postdoctoral Scholars Symposium.
Jagan Ganapathy presented our ongoing study on “Unraveling molecular interactions of vaping cannabinoids with brain drug transporters: Expression and purification of human ABCB1 and ABCG2 transporters via Pichia pastoris for structure-function insight” at the 9th annual UC Davis Postdoctoral Research Symposium in Davis, CA.
