Marina Caillaud

Marina Caillaud became fascinated with insects after taking an entomology course that was part of her undergraduate biological engineering training. This led her to a Master’s in Neurobiology and Behavior focusing on how honey bees processed volatile and pheromonal blends, then to a Ph.D. centered on the creation of wheat genetic stocks resistant to insect attack. Today, Dr. Caillaud teaches several large non-major courses at Cornell University, including one entitled “Honey Bees: Their Intriguing Biology and Interactions with Humans Through Centuries.”
