Interested in how insects, microbes & their interactions can be used to transform lives by increasing food security, improving human health, and forensics!
Our collaborative work beginning the process to potentially identifying postmortem microbiome markers for pediatric deaths is out.
Pediatric postmortem microbiota could be a future tool to assess health preceding death.

If you are using (or are interested in) #blacksoldierfly for your farm, check out https://t.co/g1TAcVQe1n! A fantastic site developed by @CIRD_Insects@AmulenRuth & Patrick to develop and engage BSF users. Official launch date 20 July!
An indescribable tragedy. Thoughts are with Al’s family, friends, and loved ones. Her kindness, enthusiasm, and quest for knowledge will be greatly missed. #MSUStrong
I am so very sorry to update original post. Alexandria Verner was an undergraduate research assistant in the lab, working on forensic microbiomes with Bethany Mickles, a graduate student of colleague @jenpechal@MSUEntomology - such sorrow for all families
New open postdoctoral associate position in disease ecology modeling - to join a multinational team (@EvoPathAmazonia), living and working in France and produce exciting new science modeling infectious disease. Pass this link along for job announcement: https://t.co/eh9nRpoaTx
Anyone in the Lansing area looking for a swarm of bees? They seem friendly. Please pass along the message to your friendly beekeeper, and DM me for more info!
Could we have prevented the COVID-19 pandemic if we better understood how humans come into contact & affect wildlife? Entomologist Eric Benbow studies how pathogens in aquatic insects can emerge & spread disease. Small organisms, epic possibilities #SpartansWill#SpartanInsects
Our team was able to pivot to get some new and potentially exciting data of Mycobacterium ulcerans in the USA that still directly supports the French Guiana work.
Do you have questions about postmortem microbiomes? forensics? decomposition ecology? So do I! If you are a #futuregradstudent interested in these topics and wanting to beginning a masters program in #entomology soon, please consider applying...........................and #VOTE
Excited to see work led by an excellent grad student (sans social) published today (#oa). The complexity of this postmortem data is sometimes not super fun, but those challenges led to a different analytical approaches with interesting results. Well done! https://t.co/MnSQvxtgE3
Bittersweet to say farewell to Dr. Deborah Amulen. She accomplished so many goals towards using insects as feed during her year as an @AAPMSU fellow. I’m very excited to see her future successes! Hopefully, I’ll be able to visit Uganda soon. Safe travels! Keep up the great work!
