University of Adelaide PHD student, Erinn Fagan-Jeffries has recently been featured on science-based show - Scope TV.
Erinn is researching a group of parasitoid wasps that could help to reduce caterpillar numbers and boost food crops across the country. She has enlisted the help of citizen scientists to breed caterpillars and if wasps are found in the caterpillars, the citizens send the wasps in for testing in her lab.
