I recently earned a BA biology concentration in ecology, minor in chemistry
from Western CT State University, graduating magna cum laude with some academic
awards. I have also been invited to speak at the North American Lake
Management Society International Symposium in Hartford, CT on October 30th
about my undergraduate research project. Although my research project focussed
on using herbivorous weevils to control Eurasian watermilfoil in Candlewood
Lake, my interest in pursuing a PhD is in stream community/ecosystem ecology
especially invertebrate communities. I am looking for suggestions on
professors and schools that may be suited to my interests within the United
States and preferably east of the Mississippi River. I am also looking for any
suggestions on what to include in an initial e-mail and in general on how to
"put my best foot forward," so to speak. Finally, any suggestions from those
who have been in my shoes are welcome. I
intend to be accepted into a program for fall of 2010. Thankyou for your
time. Please feel free to contact me personally. My name is Andy Oguma and my
e-mail is as follows:
