If you're around for DragonCon, come see me and the critters from our insect zoo! 🕷️🪳🪲🦗🦋🐞🐝🐜

I wrote a blog post to highlight our recent publication! Check it out here: Bugging Science Olympiad with Real Insect Specimens blog.pensoft.net/2025/06/09/sci… via @Pensoft

In my new paper with @bcburden and Bob Stein, we examine how people become poll workers. We find that recruitment methods vary based on experience and race of the poll worker. Now available at American Politics Research: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/15…

Students in Georgia's Science Olympiad entomology exam engaged with real insect specimens rather than just images, enhancing hands-on learning and fostering STEM interest. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/nhcm.2…

Check out our new paper on the use of insect specimens for the Science Olympiad entomology exam in Georgia! I'm so proud to have worked with two amazing students for this STEM focused outreach! 🦋🪲🦗🐜 nhcm.pensoft.net/article/153727/

@BeesAndBaking Ok, but you look fantastic in this picture! 💖

When asked to draw a scientist, school-age kids in the United States are increasingly sketching women, according to a study from 2018. Read more on #WomenInScienceDay: scim.ag/3WWWoSD

@BeesAndBaking 😂🤣 we did the exact same thing!

@EntoThompson @HelmsLab @tamuentomology @karinburghardt @plantinsectppl @UMDEntomology Congratulations!! 😊💖

First 5K in the books

@JGillettKaufman @TAMU @USDA @aglifesciences @tamuentomology Yay!! Congratulations! It's so well deserved! 😊💖

Very honored to be the first @TAMU faculty member to bring home the national @USDA Excellence in Teaching and Student Engagement award! Thanks to the amazing students I serve and support from my mentors and administrators.

I do want you to know that this is exactly how I talk to every single roach in our @Entomology_UGA Insect Zoo. 😂🤣

@XavierMartini Were you there for it? It looked incredible on TV!!

That was an incredible opening ceremony for the #Olympic2024 #OpeningCeremony The idea of the flame 🔥 in a hot balloon floating above Paris is just brilliant.

Come see us! Noon to 3p at @EntsocAmerica #SEBMeeting!! 😊💖

Entomology by younger entomologists ! @EntsocAmerica #seb2024 @MsSDReynolds @waldronclass @drcrazbugs

@kengioeli Love and big, big hugs, Ken ❤️

Candy Wickham with our 4H program just brought this 2 week old 🐑 lamb to my office. She knows I need some extra tlc since losing my dad 2 weeks ago. This helped a little.

@Jasleenkaur08 Congratulations!! Well deserved! 💖

I am thrilled to announce my selection for the Bayer Mentoring Program! Grateful to the selection committee Dr. Heather McAuslane and Dr. Charlie Messina for this incredible opportunity. Very excited for the journey ahead! #B4U #bayercropscience

Anyone have any good insect themed dad jokes? @drcrazbugs @EntsocAmerica
