Isabella Moraa, an entomology student undertaking her PhD, participated in the Global Change Impact on Disease and Alien Species Expansion workshop held at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) South Africa, from 2-6 May 2016. The workshop’s aims were: 1) To share data on the studies and control of epidemiological diseases and invasive species, and 2) To facilitate networking of young researchers and postgraduate students with different academic backgrounds.

During the workshop, Isabella gained experience in Epidemiological Modeling. Materials on modeling biological data in the context of a changing environment were also distributed. Isabella was recognised for being the best oral presenter in the poster session. We congratulate Isabella for the good work!
