Looking for pollinators in my research plots! More syrphid flies came to visit my pink flowery hat than the raspberry flowers though 😅

ALT A four-panel comic. In panel one, we see a beautiful jewel-toned orchid bee hovering over some orchid flowers. Text says "Dear Valentine, this is an Orchid Bee." In panel 2, more jewel-toned bees fly around and one lands on a flower. Text says "Male Orchid Bees gather scents from flowers, fungi, and other sources. They blend their finds into fine perfumes." In panel 3, an Orchid Bee stands on a tree and wafts its scent into the wind. Text says "During complex courtship displays, they present their scent creations. Unfortunately, I'm not an Orchid Bee. I can't offer you an elegant handmade perfume." Panel 4 is just a bunch of silhouettes about bees, with the text "But here's what I can offer you: Lots of facts about bees. Be my valentine?"
Completely unrelated to my current work, but here's a new publication I contributed to during undergrad working with #Mimulus. @speci8_mate helped me develop my skills as a scientist & communicator (I still think my poster should've won 1st prize!)
The last paper from my postdoc with @matt_streisfeld is now on bioarxiv, with key contributions from @madeechase and @hrmcintosh! Features a window-based geographic cline analysis and QTL for divergent floral traits.

The first paper from my grad research was just published! Plastic mulches reduce #SWD adults by 52% & larvae by 72% in #raspberry in the Upper Midwest 🪰🍓🫐☠️

The struggle is real, especially because travel is not safe AND we only have a ONE DAY spring break this year! 😭

Maria has been a farm worker for 17 years in Madera CA. She wants the Farm Work Modernization act to pass because she came to this country to give her family a better future and is tired of being afraid of being separated from her children. #WeAreHome #WeFeedYou

Salvador shares a picture of the citrus tree he just netted in Madera CA. The trees are netted to protect them from being pollinated by bees to keep the fruit seedless. These oranges fetch a premium price but Salvador is paid the same wage for carrying the heavy nets. #WeFeedYou
My MS research with @WI_fruit_ento found that plastic mulches reduce spotted-wing drosophila adult & larval populations in fall-bearing raspberries. Check out this article I wrote for an update on the project:

Dogs like to eat insects too!
Luna says ‘thank you!’ for the delicious cricket-based dog biscuits @jiminysforpets and @AgEntoGirl! We enjoyed participating in your photo contest during @BlackInEnto Week.

I have a paid summer internship for an MSU undergrad who wants to work with extension and community gardens. No applicants yet! Living in Detroit metro better but all virtual opportunity is possible.
Know any interested students or places to promote? @msuberrybugs @msuerinhill

These are the hands that work 9 hours day.
These are the hands that provide a nation fruits & vegetables.
These are the hands that pray for farm workers everywhere.
These are the hands that feed us.

Speaker fees may be set by the agency, but this institution gets to decide final fees.
If you are willing to pay one $12,500+ dollars KNOWING you are only paying the other $7,500, why not offer higher compensation to the other to demonstrate your commitment to equality?
Thanks for sharing this feedback. In this case and others, speaker fees are set by the agency that represents the speaker. @uw_diversity

Once again, @UWMadison demonstrates how little they value the work of BIPOC folx.
Paying a white keynote speaker nearly DOUBLE what they paid a black woman for the same thing is a perfect representation of just how fake their “equity and diversity” initiatives are.
#EntSoc20 attendees, here's my talk about our 2 year study showing that plastic mulches reduce spotted-wing drosophila in #raspberry. I'm very excited about the results & am happy to answer questions.

Wow @bug_gwen, this is exactly what I'm doing & feeling today! The stay in bed vs. burn everything binary is so real. No other options! 🔥
