@NematodeGuy I love hand recorded notes and all my data is both handwritten and backed up! That way if I ever make a mistake and enter data in incorrectly, I can go back and cross check! Plus the fear of accidentally deleting something. I don’t know how folks don’t do both. 😅

When the rain gives you an opportunity to photograph a cuckoo wasp (Chrysididae), you had best seize it, because as soon as she’s dry she’ll be zipping around feeding on nectar and looking for something to parasitize. Boy are they pretty

One of the more impressive maternal caretakers of the arthropod world, the Oak Treehopper (Platycotis vittata). From the time the big momma in the middle laid eggs in her chosen oak branch until they were all grown up, she never left her offspring unattended

@DanielDiMartino This was when I was a graduate student. You can go through my history and verify this.

@JRusso401 @RayFinkle5859 @journodave1984 Thank you! I have faith it will.

@RayFinkle5859 @JRusso401 @journodave1984 My job was to help save American ash trees from the Emerald Ash Borer by using biological control (organic). I understand you have a story, I have a story. This isn’t a sob story. I only intended for this post to be shared among my small network to see if they had job openings.

@JoeStGeorge Hi Joe, thank you. There’s thousands of people like me that lost their jobs overnight spread all over the nation. I was not a remote worker, many of us were in labs around the US working for multi decade long programs that could get shuttered overnight as a result of lay offs.

@weintraub_ross My father was a high school teacher and I know how difficult and rewarding it can be. Thank you for your time teaching, I’m sure you changed lives and were a lot of peoples role model. I was a TA during graduate school and loved it. Thank you for the suggestion, I appreciate it.

[Ellie Darling, Ph.D. @NewDarling]

@alabamaED Thank you Ed. It is rough to see how many scientists were impacted. Hoping all of the folks you collaborate with make it through.

@jpsbond Thank you Jason, I really appreciate the prayers!

[Ellie Darling, Ph.D. @NewDarling]

@wbrutter Thank you so much William, it’s so shocking to hear that so many good folks in APHIS, ARS, and FS were let go yesterday. Hoping no one in your program was impacted.
