 l\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Look for Zoom Access link here.\n\nThe presentation explores th
 e remarkable diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrates found in streams and 
 waterways throughout Virginia and demonstrates how these organisms can be 
 used to evaluate water quality. Participants will learn to identify common
  aquatic insects and other macroinvertebrates\, understand their pollution
  tolerance\, and explore the biological metrics scientists use to assess s
 tream health. Through engaging examples and real-world applications\, the 
 lecture highlights the important role these organisms play as indicators o
 f freshwater ecosystem health and provides an introduction to stream biomo
 nitoring techniques.\n\nAbout the Presenter:\n\nAmanda Whispell is an ento
 mologist\, science educator\, and scientific illustrator with expertise in
  insect biology\, ecology\, and conservation. She earned her Ph.D. in Ento
 mology from Rutgers University\, where her research focused on the evoluti
 on of mating behavior and color in damselflies. Passionate about making sc
 ience accessible\, Amanda develops educational programs\, gives engaging l
 ectures\, and produces scientific illustrations that connect people with t
 he natural world. Her work spans research\, environmental education\, poll
