Odum School of Ecology Ph.D. student Alyssa Gehman’s study of an invasive parasite that infects and castrates mud crabs living on the oyster reefs along the Georgia coast was featured on the front page of the Savannah Morning News on May 30, 2012. The article, by Mary Landers, also describes Gehman’s participation in the #SciFund Challenge crowd-funding experiment. Read the article here: UGA student makes parasite provocative.
