NSF IUCRC program indicates return on investment for industry partners is $42 for each $1 contributed - well, @CEIF_InsectAg is projecting $86 return/$1 invested during 2024, which is basically $2.1M of work for $25K invested by an industry partner @SciencePicard @hwillia8

Blow flies are an ideal system for studying the evolution of the parasitic habit. We seek a postdoctoral fellow to use CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to assess the importance of selected genes in larval diet and olfaction preferences. Apply at jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/16343….
