Huge congratulations to Qihui for successfully defending her PhD and even better, for returning to the lab as a postdoc!
Her study explored how Phenotypic plasticity induced by their diets turned the humble Black Soldier Fly (BSF) into the ultimate waste-to-protein recycler, uncovering how diet during larval stages affects growth, reproduction, and industrial bioconversion efficiency.
From showing that lab-adapted BSFs are picky eaters with heightened superpowers, to revealing that males and females have very different “resource priorities,” Qihui bridged biology with practical applications for sustainable insect farming. Her work is literally turning food waste into gold…or at least protein-rich larvae!
We’re thrilled to have her back, continuing to transform BSF research. Welcome back, Qihui!
