Tech job: My bee molecular systematics and genomics lab needs to hire a new lab tech in the next few months. The position will be a 10-year term appointment with benefits. If you think you might be interested, please reach out. The formal announcement is forthcoming.

[USU Insect Tours @USU_InsectTours]

Interesting in field collecting and learning about pollinators? There is still time to volunteer with the Stokes Nature Center to help survey local pollinator diversity!

BugFest 23 is coming to the @NHMU. Come check it out. The event is sponsored by my NSF grant and will feature a talk by my PhD student @KayunL . The mascot for the event is the western bumble bee Bombus occidentalis! https://t.co/UeJRZ0YJKf.

Wed, June 21: It's #NationalPollinatorWeek; locally, USU Berryman Institute, Cache Valley Wildlife Assoc, Monarchs of Northern Utah & RAE Environmental Inc. have organized daily events for Northern Utah Pollinator Week (Thread continues)

[USDA Science @USDAScience]

It’s #PollinatorWeek (June 19-25)! Join us in celebrating agriculture’s unsung heroes. Pollinators such as birds, bees, bats, butterflies, moths & other insects are essential to helping farmers feed our growing population. Learn more: https://t.co/H1IFhdsiJG #PollinateAmerica

[USU Insect Tours @USU_InsectTours]

Helani, an officer of the Entomology Club, and other volunteers are doing great to protect Utah’s insects. Follow the thread to learn more and how to get involved!

[USU Wildland Resources @USU_WILD]

Helani Torres with the Utah Rare Insect Conservation Program and volunteers are helping conserve fireflies (a rare spectacle in Utah) in Nibley's Firefly Park and they could use your help! They are at peak visibility during this time of mating: https://t.co/oQbRBSz2MB

[QCNR at USU @QCNRUSU]

Did you know that June is National Pollinator Month? Bees, birds, butterflies, bats, beetles, moths, and many other species are critical to agriculture in the United States, but because of pesticides, habitat destruction, and climate change, pollinator numbers are in decline. 🧵

[USU Insect Tours @USU_InsectTours]

One of our very own. Congrats, Brenna (@buggyb1020)!
