First insect curation for my medical entomology certificate is complete! Time to mail it off to UF for grading!
The depths I went to get HEAD LICE and FLEAS shows my commitment to the art.
Mailing gods please be kind 🙃🪳

A study on transmission of the parasite that causes Chagas disease in dog kennels encountered a surprising finding: a dead kissing bug with a still-viable parasite in its gut.

Any part of the federal government knowingly concealing evidence about UAP from the public?

"Yes Sir." - Timothy Gallaudet
"100%." - Lue Elizondo
"Yes." - Michael Shellenberger
"Yes." - Mike Gold

What do you believe UAP could be or are?

"Strong evidence that they are non-human higher intelligence." - Timothy Gallaudet

"I echo my colleague's comment, Sir." - Lue Elizondo

"Genuinely do not know." - Michael Shellenberger

"Don't know but we must find out." - Mike Gold

I’m saddest of all for the kids who soon may not get vaccines to save their lives from preventable diseases.

Today is the day I realized I exist in a bubble of wonderful, educated scientists who are kind and care about the world and all its people. Unfortunately, the majority of the country is not in this bubble.

@calliphriend @EntsocAmerica Can’t wait to meet you!

[Katherine Brown, MPH @KMargoB89]

I am SO excited to present at
@EntsocAmerica for the first time! I am eager to share my research in partnership with @RiverbanksZoo, studying Icosta americana on raptors throughout South Carolina.

@areyoukeddingme @EntsocAmerica YES! Please come see me. Ive tried to “star” all the things that popped up with you name 🤩

New ked species in Spain!

[Entomological Society of America @EntsocAmerica]

A new study finds common insect repellents fail to repel deer keds, but permethrin-treated clothing and nitrile gloves can make bites less likely.

@MachtingerLab @areyoukeddingme @mskvarla36 @norman_cal5445 I Love it!! I have a decently steady flow coming from a raptor center at our local zoo. A couple positive pools for WNV!

@areyoukeddingme @mskvarla36 @MachtingerLab @norman_cal5445 😂 just got a fresh batch last week!!!
