Jessica Hua

[3][6] However, in her Junior year of college she had gotten a lab position with Ben Pierce who ultimately changed her career interests towards research and studying herpetology.

[6] The article "Differential Host Susceptibility to Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, an Emerging Amphibian Pathogen" was published during her graduate education in which she was a co-author for.

[10] Hua focuses her lab's research on understanding the impact of chemicals on aquatic systems through ecological and evolutionary mechanisms while working with a variety of organisms from amphibians to insects to isopods.

[15] The Hua Lab has hosted art shows for this program including in 2017 called "Where the Wetlands End" and in 2016 "Tadpoles, Trematodes, and Toxins- Oh My!".

[15][17] One art show Hua had measured how effective this outreach was in the community by doing pre and post surveys which lead to there being a 20% increase in understanding the importance of wetlands.

[16] Aims to explain the theory of evolution through scientific content and instructional strategies in a 6-day workshop to high school teachers who in turn will teach their classrooms these concepts.

[15] Instructs teachers on current research in ecotoxicology to improve knowledge on how chemicals influence nature with a focus on ecological and evolutionary principles in a 6-day workshop.

[15] Hua had most recently received the National Science Foundation Career Award which the grant provides $947,030 for her research on evolutionary disease ecology.

[18][19] Another grant Hua has received for $251,407 was the National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology Population and Community Ecology (2017-2022).
