txtDesc[txtDesc.length]="Just four days before arriving in East Lansing, Fry was in the Netherlands – where she was born and has spent much of her life – successfully defending her master's thesis, which concerned new methods of regulating hog manure. She earned her bachelor's in ecology and biodiversity from the University of Amsterdam, and worked for a short time as a police officer in that city, but &quot;missed the science component&quot; of her education, and went back to earn a master's degree in forensic science...";

She also focuses on &quot;trying to learn how to live with it and educate people not to move firewood,&quot; to stop the expansion of the pest's range...";

He has been primary author of two papers, one of which was accepted by &quot;Ecological Economics.&quot;...";

txtDesc[txtDesc.length]="In Norbismi Nordin’s native Malaysia, food packaging is not as developed as it is here, and people pay it little attention. “We always go for fresh food with a short shelf life,” Nordin said.  “The lay people don’t have any idea that packaging is important...";
txtDesc[txtDesc.length]="When Allison Rober was an undergraduate at MSU, she took two classes taught by zoology professor Jan Stevenson. The two have stuck together since.  “I was so inspired that I asked if I could come work in his lab,” she said...";
