Feeling bereft now that #BSLSWS2022 is over?! You can get your literature and science fix with us later this month, when the wonderful @janetteleaf1 will be talking to Bristol Gothic about the insect gothic. It's sure to be appropriately creepy-crawly...

Thanks to all who came to my @BristolGothic talk. Grateful to @KentCHOTS who described insects as 'zoology's Other', inspiring me to think of gothicised, 'noxious' insects as 'entomology's Other'; and grateful to @TheBSLS & @BSHSNews for promoting disciplinary research.

@janetteleaf1 @KentCHOTS @TheBSLS @BSHSNews It was wonderful to have you, Janette - thank you so much for sharing your fascinating research!
