Really looking forward to our @ice2024kyoto_jp symposium on #pesticide exposure & effects for insect #pollinators tomorrow. If you're in Kyoto @ #ICE2024 come along & hear @angelisanchez9 @jamesdcrall @simo_tosi @WilliamsBeeLab & many other fantastic speakers from 09:45 in Rm G

Newly published #ucdavis research: Climate change rapidly restructuring North American bumble bee communities. Professor Neal Williams, postdoc researcher Jeremy Hemberger. rb.gy/74639k

New work by @gigi_melone @clarastuligross @WilliamsBeeLab shows that #heatwaves increase larval mortality and delay development of a solitary bee: doi.org/10.1111/een.13… #OpenAccess #Osmia #ClimateChange @WileyEcolEvol Photos: O. lignaria larva & adult (credits KQED/Deep Look)

New @WilliamsBeeLab paper led by @gigi_melone, out today in @Ecol_Ent! 🌡️🐝 resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ee…

My first first-author paper is out now in Ecological Entomology: resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ee… Heatwaves increase larval mortality and delay development of a solitary bee so grateful to my co-authors and mentors @clarastuligross @WilliamsBeeLab and to Osmia lignaria!

🚨New paper🚨 So excited our research into the impacts of landscape-scale pesticide exposure on bee health is published in @Nature. Huge thanks to my co-1st author @JessKnapp24 and @MajRundlof and all in @poshbee_eu The paper: shorturl.ac/7cckv What’s this all about? 🧵

🐝 Expert Neal Williams @UCDavisEntomolo talks bumble bees, carpenter bees, squash bees, mining bees, mason bees and leafcutter bees with @iraflatow @scifri sciencefriday.com/segments/local…

Congrats to Neal Williams lab at #ucdavis on recent publication in Journal of Applied Ecology. See what they did! bit.ly/3xpbiVd

We are excited to share our new paper, available open access in @JAppliedEcology! 🌻🐝🚜 Flower plantings support wild bee reproduction and may also mitigate pesticide exposure effects A collaboration with @MajRundlof, @WilliamsBeeLab, and many others tinyurl.com/flowerplantings

Come work with us! 🐝❤️

Proud lab moment!🎈 William's lab PhD student @EcoRosey's work on the giant Chilean bumble bee, Bombus Dahlbomii and its interactions with the invasive B. terrestris published! Check it out 🔖👀

I am excited to share my Commentary article in PNAS with my perspective on the great recent work by @clarastuligross and @WilliamsBeeLab on the delayed effects of insecticide exposure: pnas.org/content/119/1/…

Entomology jobs in nonprofit, government, industry, and policy organizations are out there. For students and recent graduates looking to launch their careers, here's some advice from professionals in the field. #EntSocSAC entomologytoday.org/2021/12/20/pur…
