Shannon McGinnis has won the top Temple University research award for undergraduate research in sustainability. Her work, entitled “Fungal diseases in wildlife: emerging threats from pathogenic fungi” won the Temple Library Prize for Undergraduate Research in Sustainability and the Environment. The research investigates conservation approaches to addressing emerging threats to wildlife species from fungal diseases. Her work placed a special emphasis on white-nose syndrome in bats and chytridiomycosis in amphibians, two devastating diseases of wildlife that have caused mass die-offs of affected individuals in several species of bats and many species of amphibians. Shannon was recognized in a ceremony at Paley Library on May 1, 2014. Congratulations to Shannon on this prestigious award!
