This year’s ESA meeting at Portland was very special for me and our new vegetable Entomology lab. We presented our research findings, met with some folks after long time, made new connections, did networking and got chances to attend excellent talks. Had a great time @EntSoc.

@wsucahnrs @plantdisease Congratulations Dr. Tanaka! This is really an amazing news.

Good day for our lab. Hellenah Khunga won the first place of the Master 10-min talk presentation, and I was honored to receive the Award for excellence in Integrated Pest Management at the SouthEastern Branch of the Entomological Society of America. @EntsocAmerica @ufifasnfrec
