"For most wasps, the idea of feeding a baby is ridiculous. It's a lot easier to just put the baby where the food is." If you're new to the world of parasitoid wasps, here's a nice (and frankly kinda terrifying) explainer on what they do and why it matters youtube.com/watch?v=ANyJVM…

Honored to have been invited by the Mexican Embassy in Berlin to present my research on improving bioinsecticide efficacy with the aim of reducing chemical pesticide use during Berlin Science Week. Thank you! @EmbaMexAle @PacoQuiroga #BerlinScienceWeek #Biocontrol #Entomology

Just accepted: Microplastic diversity increases the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes in soil Another great paper with the excellent team surrounding @YGZHURCEES Will share details of open-access paper once available #microplastic #SoilHealth

The fall armyworm (FAW) invasion now threatens rice as well. This research shows that the brown planthopper (BPH) may increase FAW's shift to rice, posing a new risk to Asia's crops. Careful monitoring and control are crucial. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… @wileyplantsci #OpenAccess
