I like looking at insects and running up mountains. Raised in Austria living in Colorado. All views are my own.

Appreciate all of the speakers and discussion contributors at our #EntSoc23 “New and Emergent Wheat Pest Challenges in North America: Pest Assessment and Wheat Grower Forum” this week! Co-creating IPM programs with producers promotes realistic solutions!

Excited to see this paper come out! Great work @msturch2. It was so fun working on the figures for it!

[Matt Sturchio @msturch2]

New paper 📄

@alan_knapp and I argue that co-prioritizing ecosystem services and energy using an ecologically informed, ‘ecovoltaics’ approach to solar design and operation has multiple benefits for climate, biodiversity and restoration of degraded lands.

Not sure if anyone else is as into "The Last of Us" as I have been, but Maia Holmes from @CSU_AgBio discusses the cordyceps in the show that turns people into zombies. The show was inspired by zombie ants controlled by this fungi.

@BeardedRoger You are not alone. I hope things get better for you soon!

[Erika Peirce, PhD🐝🌍 @TravelngBugGirl]

@Synchangel They currently do not, I have tried a few versions and the ones with the stylet and more realistic were not as cute 😂

I’ve been making a bunch of plush aphids and thought some of my entomologist friends might be interested! I am planning on selling them for $20 a piece + shipping. DM me if you are interested!

Our new paper just came out in the JIPM! We describe the important issues facing breeding and bring up some future directions that might improve WSS management! (there are some pretty cool pictures and figures 😊) check it out at https://t.co/PnFz1uRUKD…

Thanks Rae for reporting on such a huge problem for our wheat growers! I really enjoyed talking about sawfly with you!

[Rae Solomon @raedear1]

My latest story for @KUNC, and my first as the station's new Rural and Small Communities reporter.

(Because why the heck not tweet about it at 5:30 on a Friday?)

[Colorado Wheat @coloradowheat]

The wheat stem sawfly has become a major threat to Colorado's wheat crop. CAWG, in collaboration with several departments at CSU, recently released an economic impact study on the pest in order to help secure federal funds for research. Read more here: https://t.co/efxQwEtFAA

@biogeoJem Wow I think I must implement this on my next paper

[Rads @_radsy]

running into your old statistics professor be like “what are the chances”

[Erika Peirce, PhD🐝🌍 @TravelngBugGirl]

@WheatTrials @coloradowheat @NachappaPunya She probably sat and groomed herself for an hour after. They are clean little insects that’s for sure. I filmed one grooming herself for 4 hours straight!

@WheatTrials @coloradowheat @NachappaPunya Here is one we submitted to a journal to try and be on the cover. We sprayed her with water to try and make her look majestic. Photo credit: Kelsey Dawson

@dunkindonuts sponsor my friend! She is an amazing scientist and teacher.

[Katie Rocci, PhD @ecology_katie]

My high school and college years working at @dunkindonuts have really come in handy for this amino sugars procedure.

Ex 1) swirling samples in the sonicator is very similar to swirling ice coffees to mix them
