Absolutely thrilled to have one of my major papers from my masters degree finally published! The red headed flea beetle is slowly but surely being better understood. I’m proud to have been able to contribute to the wellbeing of nursery growers by sharing this information

🏳️‍⚧️Happy #TransDayOfVisibility! It’s a scary time to be trans right now, making visibility essential. We are friends, spouses, daughters, sons, mothers, fathers, scientists, professionals, and most of all human beings. I’m a trans woman in STEM and I’m especially proud today!🏳️‍⚧️

Life update: In December I successfully defended my thesis and submitted 2 articles to ESA journals, culminating in the completion of my masters.

This month I accepted the position of staff entomologist and education specialist at the National Pest Management Association!

@LCMcHenry Proud of you!!

GUESS WHAT YOU LOVE MILLIPEDES NOW. Trust me I'm from the future and you listened to this episode with Dr. @derekhennen and now you sniff millipedes and look for them under blacklights, weirdo. It rules.

I think my labmates are trying to tell me something 🤔

[Eleanor (Lane) Sanders @Ellie_VTbugs]

Planning out my art project for @EntsocAmerica joint annual meeting art exhibition, super pumped to showcase #InsectsAsInspiration this fall :)

[Eleanor (Lane) Sanders @Ellie_VTbugs]

Started keeping the flea beetles in a cage with a plant and we’ve been referring to this as a bug hotel, i might have went a little overboard with the labels

[Eleanor (Lane) Sanders @Ellie_VTbugs]

Field season is in full swing, first round of monitoring daily activity of the #redheadedfleabeetle is almost complete. Long night, but well worth the efforts!

[Shannon Bradley @Shannon_VTbugs]

When you’re looking up the economic impact of a pest and the first author of the first document you look at is sitting right next to you…@Ellie_VTbugs

[Eleanor (Lane) Sanders @Ellie_VTbugs]

Seasonal monitoring for the #redheadedfleabeetle is underway!
