I am thrilled to share that I’m joining @Aluckymyrmex’s lab at @UFEntomology! I will set off to explore ant ecology with an equal focus on developing #scicomm & Ed methods to share the alien world of the undergrowth with everyone.

An accomplished @NatGeo Explorer and photographer, my great uncle Emory was an inspiration. His stunning photographs documented humanity’s first forays into the darkest depths of the seas, including the 1985 rediscovery of the Titanic. He will be missed!

It was great to speak with the @washingtonpost about how truly awesome ants are. I gave a passionate defense of carpenter ants after this picture went viral, threatening perceptions of ants; the little things that run the world. 🐜🐜🐜 washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/10…

It’s time to set the record straight: ants are downright cute! @MilesMaxcer joined @washingtonpost’s @marialuisapaulr to talk all about ants and the critical roles they play in terrestrial ecosystems around the world.
María Luisa Paúl@marialuisapaulr

Good news: We are making hearing aids available on store shelves. Finally, Americans can access these critical devices without a prescription, for thousands of dollars less than they previously cost.
