Co-teaching an insect-plant #network lab for Field Bio is a highlight of fall here @cornellento - joy to teach w Julie Davis @ToxicPlantLab & Heather Grab @PovedaLab! The Buzzline at @CUintheGarden was ALIVE today w wool-carder bees, bumbles, ambush bugs & crab spiders (etc!)

So where do bees come from? The answer should be clearer with today's "The bee Big Bang: elucidating evolutionary origins of bees with UCE phylogenomics" from @Bee_Whiz - Erin Krichilsky at today's #EntSoc19 #bees #evolution
