Identify three separate critical issues in your field of study that have been influenced by an insect.
For example, if your field of study is Public Health, one option is Zika virus.
You may borrow issues from your Search Engine Assignment.
Make sure each issue is complex and interesting enough to support a 1250-word project.
Identify the insect that influences each issue.
In the example above, the influencing insect is the Aedes mosquito.
You must specify your featured insect to the family, genus or species level.
Provide a brief justification for how each issue relates to your field of study.
List your three issues in order of preference (i.e. list your favorite one first).
Submit your proposal in the following format:
Field of Study: Public Health
First Choice Issue: Zika virus in the southern U.S.
Featured Insect: Mosquito (Family: Culicidae; Genus: Aedes)
