I’m late with posting this #EntSoc24 picture, but just couldn’t resist. Here are featured the #EntSoc14 & #EntSoc23 Program Co-chairs. Representing 4 different countries of origin, many late nights of work, & lots of laughs. @entsocamerica.bsky.social @estherngumbi.bsky.social @lovettbr.bsky.social
Any Australian Entomological Society members here? #aes #EntSoc23 #entomology. Should AES create an account here?
New on Entomology Today: Two students and a recent graduate share their experience after attending Entomology 2023 as participants in ESA and the CDC's Public Health Entomology for All program. #EntSoc23
Get a peek behind the scenes at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History Entomology Collection, where a few groups of entomologists got a special tour while in town for the ESA Annual Meeting last November. #EntSoc23
Meet the creators of Insect Eavesdropper, winner of the 2023 Antlion Pit, an innovation competition for entomology-related products and services. #EntSoc23
A lab team spent the pandemic lockdown studying thousands of photos of ant faces (and discussed their findings at #EntSoc23)
Meet Hannah Levenson, Ph.D., community ecologist and postdoc at North Carolina State University, whose work in integrated pest and pollinator management earned her a spot in the Early Career Professional Recognition Symposium at #EntSoc23.
Meet Paulina Maldonado-Ruiz, Ph.D., postdoctoral research associate at Kansas State University whose work studying ticks and the causes of alpha-gal syndrome earned her a spot in the Early Career Professional Recognition Symposium at Entomology 2023. #EntSoc23
I loved this conference last year despite being terrified to speak on the Big Stage🫣. Madison in beautiful in the summer, would love to see my #EntSoc23 insect microbe people there!
Meet Sajjan Grover, Ph.D., whose work at Bayer Crop Science earned him a spot in the Early Career Professionals Recognition Symposium at #EntSoc23. entomologytoday.org/2023/11/15/e...
Observation - I should slow down a bit to improve my handwriting. I'm spending a lot of time trying to decipher what I wrote in my notepad during #EntSoc23. Any guesses?
Really enjoyed #EntSoc23! It was great to be back in person after a couple years presenting online and to catch up with friends and colleagues! Looking forward to #EntSoc24 in Phoenix! entsocamerica.bsky.social
W/ the busy-ness of #EntSoc23, I want to share this new paper. We report predictors used to find #AsianLonghornedTicks from the field. We also share ideas for running a tick blitz in areas w/o the tick & where to find them on a potentially infested farm.

The Cook Lab had such a blast at #EntSoc23 - so proud of my students for presenting their amazing work! And it was so great to see so many friends - my ♥️ and 🧠 are so full!
My whirlwind two week visit to the US has ended, happy to see my mentors, collaborators, and colleagues at #EntSoc23. But my fav thing about the conference is by far the memes of Corteva Man.
A display at the Smithsonian of a fossil type specimen in a deathpose below a composite skeleton of a Dimetrodon looking down. The deathpose has the lizard-like mammal on its back, curled, and head is directed upwards towards the left of the photo.
Had a wonderful time at #EntSoc23! Great to catch up with people I haven't seen in a few years. Also got to be a bit of a tourist yesterday at the Smithsonian. No insect zoo at this time, but did get to see this fantastic type specimen in a death pose!
@phytoseiid.bsky.social it was great to see you at #EntSoc23 if only for a few minutes!
I am immensely honored to have been the guest speaker at @coleopsoc.bsky.social annual meeting. This is a great recognition from the community and an incredible opportunity to share some of the research I have been doing! #EntSoc23
A photo of Skye, who is wearing a white mask and has circular glasses, standing in front of a collections box. The box contains colorful butterfly specimens. Behind them is a photo of the collections drawers pulled out to show the large number of specimens.
I had a blast at #EntSoc23 !!! Reconnected with friends, met potential grad advisors, my poster won 1st place in the category, and I got to go behind the scenes at the Smithsonian NMNH! Big shoutout and many thanks to Dr. Shockley for leading the tour!

Has #EntSoc23 really come and gone so soon? Start planning now to re-connect with your colleagues and share your science in 2024 at ESA Branch Meetings and at Entomology 2024 in Phoenix. #EntSoc24 See you then! entsoc.org/events

Always wonderful to be reunited with this Entomology dream team! This friend collab is about 10 years old now! @morrisonlabusda.bsky.social #EntSoc23
That's it for me and the #khadlab at #entsoc23!
Thanks to everyone that came to our posters and said hi :)

Some observations from #entsoc23
1. The @entsocamerica.bsky.social is serious about diversity and inclusion
2. Entomologists are way better dressed than ecologists at 'the other' ESA
