Fantastic meeting, lovely to see everyone! Shame @NolanLabHearing missed the group pic (we were definitely there - honest!). @LocustEarMan you were also missed, but great talks from your team. Hope all is going well across the pond! Looking forward to the next one!

Cicada emergence could be heavily impacted by 2020 derecho

Cicadas are starting to emerge at Macbride Recreation Area, and researchers are traveling a great distance to learn more about these unusual bugs.
