That's it for #ESBC2023! It was a great meeting at a great venue! Thanks to all the presenters for their amazing talks, and thanks to everyone for attending. See you all next year!

It’s great to the see the @GriesLab tradition of excellent science puns and references is alive and well! Here’s two great examples from @Saif_Nayani and @sammeraj4. Also loved how often the Simpsons was worked in when explaining the “mystery” factor. #ESBC2023

Recently had the pleasure of publishing my first paper with some amazing co-authors from the @GriesLab. It's about stable flies and their attraction to microbes from cow skin and it's super gross. Please feel free to check it out if that's your thing 😀 #insects #microbiology

👏Congratulations to Keiran Maskell who is the recipient of a 2022 Biological Sciences Undergraduate Research Award Research Topics: - Tick bait (for pest control of Ixodes scapularis & I. pacificus) - GMO development in hop (Humulus lupulus) and +

One click away... Check out our newest paper describing the first record and range expansion of Agriotes sputator in Quebec. Another wonderful collaboration with @JSaguez @GriesLab and @AAFC_Canada doi.org/10.3956/2022-9… #wireworm

At last Friday's lab meeting, we heard an impressive prep talk from honors student Justin Long. Justin defends his thesis tomorrow and it will for sure be an exciting seminar!

New paper by @KendalSingleton, @GriesRegine, @EmilyLemke15 & coauthors shows which pheromone component "clicks" for the Elaterid Agriotes ferrugineipennis! Link: rdcu.be/cS3O3
