@lovettbr Well, I mean, you are also comparing IA to CT (says the loud and proud native Iowan who now lives in CT).

Is it just me, or does the setup in 1918 look more comprehensive? 😔

@RHSMusicDept @RidgefieldHS Yes! Thank you!

Our chaperones. Thanks so much for keeping the kids safe...and for remembering to have fun yourselves!

Following the success of last year's @PIE_Entsoc Science Policy Field Tour (and two more in 2018), organizers have explored and explained the field tour model in depth in a new article in the #OA Journal of Integrated Pest Management. #pollinatortour academic.oup.com/jipm/article/9…

"We at @EntsocAmerica were deeply saddened at the tragic destruction of the National Museum of Brazil in a fire this weekend. ... We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Museu Nacional staff, its greater scientific community, and the people of Brazil." entsoc.org/esa-statement-…

Found a #tick in the backyard.

@JodyBugsMeUNL @EntsocAmerica @WomeninEnto Low wages. If you are married and need to make moving decisions based on job opportunities, often men are paid more, so women leave their careers, or start over, to follow men.

Female Entomologists: The Arthro-pod team is recording Thursday & would appreciate some input: What are some challenges for women in #entomology? What are some solutions? Who are YOUR role models in this fantastic field? @WomeninEnto @EntsocAmerica

Brand new paper showing that ticks attach to snakes more in woodland than rainforest, in dry season, on female snakes of larger size; individual tick burdens varied frequently & tick intensity not correlated with body condition onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ae… @austinrspence @TicksRock

For crying out loud, Sierra Club, if you want to raise awareness about "bee-killing pesticides", do it with a photo of one of the 20,000 or so bee species in the world and not with photo of a syrphid fly sierra.secure.force.com/actions/Nation…

Happy Monday! Today seems like a good day to be thankful for our entomologists in the U.S. government and the work they do every day. Let's look at a few examples, shall we?

@Phytoseiid How do you create accountability for making continual progress in writing projects so that deadlines do not creep up and become stress-inducing!

@Phytoseiid Similar to others...how do you prioritize and carve out time to write? Perhaps part of the workshop encourages people to bring a project they are having trouble getting started and people write an outline or the first paragraph. Often just getting started is the hardest part.

@MayBerenbaum That is one of my favorite museum activities! Find the insects! I recently found gorgeous butterflies on "The Olympic Service" in the Moscow Kremlin Armory: wavada.org/Images/Russia/…

Entomologists Say Harassment and Bullying in Science are “#NeverOK,” by @profspaff and @Polly_Nator: "We envision entomologists as agents of change, promoting healthy workspaces where all are treated with respect." buff.ly/2B8l7ui

Thrilled to give Congresswoman @Elizabeth_Esty a close look at some ticks in our lab and to talk about Lyme prevention @WestConn. #scicomm

#askMaryRoach So, after writing Stiff, will you donate your body to Science? If so, what purpose would you choose?
