A fantastic PhD opportunity here at Hull with my colleague, Mauro. Spread the word!

New OSU Entomologist Makes Return to HAREC - potatocountry.com/2023/11/06/new… Happy and honored to join the incredible team @OregonState. Let's get 'em potato bugs

@georgecmcgavin @stbehmer @tamuentomology @TAMUEEB @EntsocAmerica We were fortunate enough to learn from the best like you, George!

So proud of Sword Lab members Andie Miller and Mason Clark who both crushed it with 1st place wins in the Student Paper Competition at the 2023 Entomology Annual Meeting! @stbehmer @tamuentomology @TAMUEEB #EntSoc23 @EntsocAmerica

Nothing prepared me for the amazing fireworks of blacktip sharks hunting their schooling prey. A dream come true. Thanks so much to @MaRHECenter and @AugustPala, @albi_angela, Luke and Inga. @CBehav @MPI_animalbehav @UniKonstanz #maldives #sharks

Many thanks to Adam Russell at @txextension @TAMU for the interview with @TheSwordLab ! agrilifetoday.tamu.edu/2022/08/24/stu…

@tamuentomology @USDA_NIFA @CottonInc @txresearch @tamusoilcrop Credit where credit is due: TAMU EEB student Mason Clark has been a big part of this project from the very beginning! @Mason_K_Clark @TAMUEEB

A @USDA_NIFA, @CottonInc funded project led by @txresearch professor Dr Greg Sword and including Anjel Helms and Dr. Michael Thomson @tamusoilcrop are looking at ways to control pests in cotton plants using gene editing techniques. tx.ag/SwordCottonGra… #NIFAimpacts #TAMUBugs

Extremely pleased to share our PNAS paper, which solves a century-old mystery..! Young crowded locusts are black and yellow, signalling to potential predators - "Leave me alone!" At sexual maturity, swarming males turn yellow again - but why? (1/4) pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

@Darron_Cullen Congrats to @Darron_Cullen for an amazing example of tenacity and collaboration. Project originated almost 15 years ago in Sydney! Working with @GilRosenthal made sure the locust story was placed in the proper sexual selection context.

pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… An adult perspective: Juvenile desert locusts express density-dependent warning coloration to predators. Adult males do it all over again - but as a warning to other males! @Darron_Cullen @eatlikeanimals @NSF_BPRI

@GilRosenthal @DiBio_UniPD Looking forward to visiting ASAP!

Way to go, @AshleyTessnow! Valuable new fall armyworm paper. Stay tuned for more cool new FAW findings coming up.

So we’ll deserved everyone of you!!! Congratulations 🍾🎉🎊

Lab alum Dr. Josephine Antwi @josephineantwi3 wrote an American Entomologist article sharing her experiences in academia. Important statement about the need for real actions that support diversity, inclusion, and early career development. Way to go, Jo! academic.oup.com/ae/article-abs…

Super excited to be working with @AshleyTessnow from the lab and our USDA collaborators on a major new fall armyworm population genomics and behavior project all across the continental US. @RobMeagher2 #fallarmyworm today.tamu.edu/2021/02/17/glo…

Today was the official kick-off meeting for the Behavioral Plasticity Research Institute. Very excited for the amazing science ahead! @entomos @stbehmer @TheSwordLab @ArianneCease @BaraniRaman @RickOverson @GlobalLocust @drbugguts @erezaterez @odudcha
