Starting summer 2024, Sarah Hughson returned to her home state of Michigan to join MSU Plant and Pest Diagnostics as the arthropod diagnostician. At University of Illinois she studied western corn rootworm research, and then served as the entomology extension specialist in the Pesticide Safety Education Program at the University of Illinois. In addition to providing expertise and training in entomology and pesticide safety, she was the liaison for structural pest control with the Illinois Department of Public Health.
