Grace Hodges '24
Ecology, Evolution, and Biodiversity Major
Hello! I'm Grace Hodges! I’m passionate about invasive species, disturbance, and forest dynamics. Currently, I work as a research technician at the Ambler Field Station on the Spotted Lanternfly Project with Dr. Brent Sewall. In Spring 2024, I was awarded a CARAS grant to conduct independent research on Spotted Lanternflies, and I presented my findings at Temple’s Undergraduate Research Symposium and the Mid-Atlantic Meeting of the Ecological Society of America.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the research opportunities at Temple, especially working at the Ambler Campus with the Field Station and Temple Forest Observatory. I’m eager to help other students get involved in hands-on research and develop valuable skills and experiences.
