Presidential Lab Visit!

The new University of Richmond President, Dr. Ronald Crutcher, toured Gottwald today and stopped by to see what we’re up to in the Grayson Lab. After walking him though our summer research on gypsy moths in a simulated climate we took this photo to commemorate the occasion. Welcome to UR, Dr. Crutcher! We’re glad you stopped by!
