Erinn Fagan-Jeffries, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, The University of Adelaide

Erinn is currently an Australian Biodiversity Resource Study Postdoctoral Fellow at The University of Adelaide and an Honorary Research Associate at the South Australian Museum. She is dedicated to discovering and describing new parasitoid wasp species; her research combines cutting-edge DNA sequencing methods with traditional taxonomic approaches. Erinn’s mission is to build more connections between local communities and taxonomic scientists so that everyone can contribute to discovering and documenting Australia’s biodiversity.
