I made this account a while ago & completely forgot about it. #SICB26 has reminded me of all the great scientific chatter that used to happen on twitter (RIP😔) during #EntSoc. I remembered my bluesky so here I am, somehow 150 followers later? Thanks all! Please enjoy these brochosomes 👀
Member Highlight, Teresa Aguiar-Cordero PhD Student, My research focuses on integrated pest management of pulses. Beyond my research, I am passionate about teaching and outreach in entomology. I have published a multilingual children’s book titled Finding Sakbe on Amazon, and my second book is currently in the illustration stage. I have also created educational activities for schools in Mexico, Canada, and the United States, and delivered presentations on insect biodiversity and conservation to a wide range of audiences, from children to adults in the agricultural sector. Most recently, I co-founded “Bugs Teaching Humans,” a project that combines science and art to share stories about insects and their role in our environment.
This month we’re spotlighting FIT member Teresa, whose work spans IPM, multilingual children’s books, and entomology outreach. She’s the author of Finding Sakbe and co-founder of Bugs Teaching Humans. 🐞

Graphic titled “Project Highlight” featuring Bug Club at Oregon State University. The left side shows the Bug Club logo: a black and orange monarch butterfly with the words “Bug Club” written across the bottom border of its wings, set against an orange circle. A large quote bubble on the right reads: “Student organizations can be a powerful new model to sponsor and support undergraduate student research.” Text describes the project: Bug Club has supported 12 undergraduate research projects on pollinator communities, prairie restoration, butterfly conservation, insect farming, IPM, and entomological teaching tools. All 12 students will present their work at the ESA annual meeting this November and are new ESA FIT members. At the bottom right is a headshot of Alexander Butcher, identified as PhD Candidate, Bug Club President, ESA Science Policy Fellow Class of 2025, and FIT Student Subcommittee co-chair (Oregon State University). The FIT logo appears in the bottom left with the text “Follow us for more! Formal and Informal Teaching, Entomological Society of America.”

The cover of a magazine: an illustration of a man facing a large insect. Except the "insect" has eight legs and four antennae and looks to be made by AI.
Kinda bummed this season's edition of American Entomologist has a cover made by AI. This isn't even that much an homage to classic horror, it's just a dragonfly with four antennae and eight legs and a misplaced abdomen.

Would people be interested in a "Scaling to the Collective: How individual effects could impact the system" section at next year's #EntSoc? 👀
Welp... My 1st conference talk in nearly 15 years at #entsoc with @calacademy.bsky.social and the @arachnologynerd.bsky.social lab ...done.
Back in it after a bit of a sojourn away from research science!! Feeling super lucky and excited at the moment! Looking forward to what's next!
