Can your biggest fear become your greatest passion? 🦗🐜
As a kid, @InsectDoc was terrified of insects. But a high school internship in an entomology lab changed everything. Now, as an entomologist, she studies these fascinating creatures every day. Her biggest lesson? Your dream career might come from the most unexpected place.

She gives us a look at some of the wonders you can find while just taking a walk through the park!

Dr. Ronda Hamm (@insectdoc) shares a look at some corn that hasn't been harvested and explains why a farmer may leave that corn in the field. Learn about some amazing benefits the environment and wildlife in the area get as well!
Stay tuned. We have a chapter book for middle schoolers focused on what women in STEM were like in our pre-teen to teen years.
