The Environment Institute would like to congratulate Erinn Fagan-Jeffries for winning the 2016 national science communication competition FameLab.

Erinn spoke about her research on the taxonomy and systematics of parasitoid wasps in her talk ‘Protecting your potatoes: the caterpillar-killing wasps’.

You can listen to her presentation available as a podcast on ABC radio national.

She will represent Australia in the FameLab International final at The Times Cheltenham Science Festival in the UK in June later this year.

Erinn is one of the PhD students of Professor Andy Austin from the University of Adelaide’s Environment Institute.
