Improving their "spidey-sense," the spider women of Penn State York spent the summer of 2018 studying their eight-legged friends, the common house spider, as part of an undergraduate research project with Jessica Petko, assistant professor of biology. Mackenzie Nolt, Kathryn Bruce, Jessica Petko, Madison Winkowski, and Mindy Gruzin, left to right, were part of The Petko Lab. Bruce, Gruzin, and Winkowski were recipients of the Rodney A. Erickson Discovery Grant and received $3,500 each to do research with Petko. Bruce also received a $500 Academy of Science Grant. All four students graduated on May 9, 2020.
