Please donโt reach out to me on this platform as Iโm done using it for the foreseeable future. Professor of Entomology for the University of Nebraska.
Massive thanks to @true_bug for having me out last week to visit with @UNL_IANR's Doctor of Plant Health program students and catch up with old friends. Jeff and I go way back to our @iastate_cals days, and @JodyBugsMeUNL and I have been in Extension circles for YEARS.
Dr. David Coyle's presentation was fun to learn more about invasive species in tree. Climate change is real!๐ฅ Invited by the Doctor of Plant Health Program @true_bug@UNLdph@UNL_PlantPath
Just wrapped up an incredible @EntsocAmerica 24 Annual Meeting in AZ. Feeling excited to be organizing the @ncbesa. See you in Lincoln, NE! ๐ฝ๐๐
Finally published a project with @PetersonInsects , @BobWrightUNL , and several other wonderful people. In summary: maintaining a miniature wasp colony for deployment toward the biological control of western bean cutworm in western Nebraska was difficult. https://t.co/Q6X5Ce2eHZ
Congratulations to all of our students at the ESA convention!

Stick around #EntSoc24 and attend our member symposium at the @EntsocAmerica Annual Meeting! Join us November 13ย in Phoenix, AZย to learn and discuss western bean cutworm management. Graphical notes taken by Justine LaViolette, https://t.co/WXyC2FUSSH AND maybe win a tumbler!
Climate issues abound to be sure and plant breeding research in that realm is needed. Also, pesticide safety education and the means to afford PPE for pesticide users! https://t.co/NYPGUDfpBl
โIf it has a glamorous aura, if its practitioners are prizewinners who receive large grants, stay away from that subject.โ โ E.O. Wilson. I should be set for the rest of my career if I stick with insect management in semi-arid cropping systems. ๐
