Presenting at ICIPE @BenbowLab @tamuentomology - black soldier fly as a model within the decomposition realm

170,000 farmers to date trained to raise #bsf via @incipe and @AmulenRuth in Africa- FULL stop! 1,000,000 farmers is a reachable goal! @BenbowLab @tamuentomology

@FliesFacility @AmulenRuth It’s an amazing experience seeing the enormous diversity of products from BSF in Kenya.

[Benbow Lab @BenbowLab]

Thanks to all of the authors for amazing contributions to the second edition of the carrion ecology book that hit the presses a few days ago. This was about 2 years in development and has major additions.

@EricLDaugh Don’t worry about the quality of roads before, during or after a hurricane. Who needs quality roads?

Honoured to have hosted Prof @FliesFacility Prof Eric Benbow @BenbowLab and Icipe team at the CIRD Bsf farms....useful discussions on expansion of bsf farming in Uganda and beyond...

Thanks for posting, @FliesFacility . Always a pleaser working with you and all of the excellent authors of this book!!

[Jeff Tomberlin @FliesFacility]

Good news!! The second edition of our carrion ecology book is now available. Many thanks to all of the authors contributing! @BenbowLab and Aaron Tarone - truly enjoyed working with you again

So very honored to be a small part of this amazing field and movement to build sustainable food security

[GIFA @GIFA56625]

#GIFA25 Day 1 is glowing with great insights. In another session filled with insight and impact, Prof. Eric M. Benbow shared powerful thoughts on the theme "Insect as Animal Feeds for Sustainable Livestock Production and Livelihoods."

@GIFA56625 @AmulenRuth @FliesFacility @Makerere @EawagResearch @michiganstateu @txresearch @BusitemaUni @PROteen_africa @MAAIF_Uganda @narouganda Honored to be here to help facilitate this enormous field!

[Jeff Tomberlin @FliesFacility]

Interested in postdoc position in my lab? We do a lot of decomposition ecology (black soldier fly and blow fly as models). Will get experience in grant writing, as well as opportunity to diversify research toolbox - microbes, genetics, volatiles, behavior, more- DM if interested

Japan: Blowflies found to carry bird flu virus

"The researchers collected 648 blowflies and discovered that 14 blowflies were carrying the bird flu virus."

@FliesFacility Similar situation taken in Ghana a few years ago with ants.

[Jeff Tomberlin @FliesFacility]

There are many predators in the Serengeti- but this one is #1 - right!? An ant about 1.5-2.0 cm long eating an adult blow fly!! Entomology Rules!!

[Benbow Lab @BenbowLab]

@FliesFacility I would agree! I think the opportunistic and facultative insects are soooo important to carrion decomposition- need more studies like you are doing! Cool stuff.
