UC Davis doctoral candidate Marielle Hansel Friedman figuratively "lightened the way" to the winners' circle at the Graduate Student Competition for the President's Prize at the Entomological Society of America (ESA) meeting in Portland, Ore.

The UC Davis Art/Science Fusion Program, where UC Davis undergraduate students connect science with art, creating and installing ceramic-mosaic art for permanent display in public places--has been selected for a UC Davis Crowdfund campaign. 

The goal: to raise $10,000 during the month of October.
