Gearing up for one of our bigger research projects this upcoming spring! Can’t wait to start this one with help from @ameeds11 @InsectEvoLab and a few others🪲🐜#wildlifeforensics

Did I have my lab (four 20+ year olds) complete the not so junior ranger packet & pledge with me? You know it 😅 @ameeds11 @BcromerIII #orpi #fewl

@EntsocAmerica Hoping to repeat this photo 15 years from now. #EntSoc23 #minientomologist

I feel like I did something right when my students who have graduated come back to help out with research for fun.

😢 Over 20 animals are being removed from the endangered species list because they are now extinct, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced. abc15.com/21-species-rem…

@carpophilus @NCState @NCSU_DEPP @InsectEvoLab @TenderLemonArt I have been waiting for this to go out!! So proud and excited for you!

I am pleased to announce that, starting in November, I will be the Assistant Professor of Insect Biodiversity and Director of the NC State University Insect Museum at @NCState @NCSU_DEPP. Here is the new lab profile @InsectEvoLab shoutout to @TenderLemonArt for the sweet logo!

So proud of the lab! Surveys and baseline information are KEY to utilizing insects in casework.

My students continue to impress me ✨#NCUIRE #forensicentomology #fewl @asu_smns @ASUNewCollege

Best thing about #forensicentomology - you can apply it anywhere and traps don’t need to be expensive! #blowflies #fleshflies

Second #ESAPB in the books! Proud lab mama right here. @ASUNewCollege @asu_smns

@ASUNewCollege and #PurdueAg are co-hosting the inaugural Cold Case Symposium on Sept. 23 to support families facing America’s cold case crisis during #ForensicScienceWeek. Register to attend virtually or on ASU’s campus na.eventscloud.com/coldcase22

Hey- you’re not who I was expecting. How many #parasitoidwasps can fit into one #fleshflypupa ? Any guesses?

1st undergraduate 1st author paper to come out of the lab! SO proud. @ASUResearch @barretthonors @asu_smns @DrLaurenWeidner 🪰Blow Flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) and the American Diet: Effects of Fat Content on Blow Fly Development academic.oup.com/jme/advance-ar…

SO proud of my team!

We're about one month out from our summer decomposition project! Can't wait to see insect succession at a dry 105°F 🌞 We were already sweating in April. Thanks @The_AAFS for the support!

@paulbfrandsen This is amazing!

caddisflies coming out of bones! #teamcaddisfly

@DaveDenlinger Bioquip for sure! And low-ish 😅

Since college I've had this vial full of points, but I'm starting to run low-ish. Where the heck can I find/buy a point puncher? #Entomology

If you teach a #forensicentomology course, check out our key to forensically relevant beetle families that just came out! @carpophilus 🙂 jfse-ojs-tamu.tdl.org/jfse/index.php…

Big thank you to @FliesFacility and @JACammack for teaching us (@TessaJung1 ) about #BSF rearing and maintenance. Love the possibility of reducing #foodwaste and increasing #sustainable practices.
