College is the worst place to learn how to write.
Period.
So, I spent 100+ hours studying one of the greatest writers alive—Stephen King.
I found 7 rules anyone can use to become a better writer:
Fungi coat the eggs of stinkbugs, creating a shield that protects the embryos from parasitic wasps, researchers report.

🌍✨ Discover the unseen world inside vectors!
We’re thrilled to launch our Insects (MDPI) Special Issue:
🦟 “Insect Vector Physiology and Competence: Interactions and Adaptations.”
From mosquito immunity and symbiosis 🧬 to tick microbiomes and adaptation under climate stress 🌦️—we invite you to explore how insects meet challenges and shape disease transmission.
Let’s connect physiology, microbes, and ecology into one evolving story of vector life. 🌱
📅 Deadline: April 30, 2026

Received the special issue from # Insects Journal, edited by Prof. Zhang, Dr. Li and myself, very glad to see this has been done! Take this as a little gift for my birthday 😊
Want to know how the immune and circulatory systems work in insects? Please come to my talk at the rising star symposium Sunday 10 am MT. Thank you @EntsocAmerica @EntomoPrade @cmtribull@Haidomyrmex for organizing this special symposium!
The Martinson Lab is looking for a new lab technician! We are focused on the molecular mechanisms of symbioses. If you would be interested in helping us research galling insects, beetle/fungal symbiosis, and parasitoid wasp venom, please look over the attached flyer. Please RT!
