Hi, my name is Abram Estrada! Since I was a kid, I knew I wanted to study insects. It wasn't until I started my major coursework as an ENT major that I really understood what it meant to be an entomologist and where my passion could lead me. I took so many awesome ENT classes like bug boot camp, forensic entomology, insect ecology, freshwater macroinvertebrates, and many more! These classes make up the foundational knowledge that I've carried forward in my career and continue to reference in my day-to-day activities as a senior research assistant at
My name is Felix Duley, and I am so honored to be a nominee for entomology student of the month! I study and live in Davis with my fiancé and our plethora of pets, including spiders, scorpions, fish, and our two cats. Any time not spent studying I spend creating art, hanging out with my family and friends, or exploring nature. I have been lucky enough to be a student at UC Davis since the fall quarter of 2022, and this spring I will finish up my undergraduate journey with my bachelor’s in entomology.
