Happy to have contributed a chapter in this new open-access #foresthealth textbook, which features chapters on entomology and #invasivespecies (hat tip to Jeremy Allison Tim Paine, @bernardslippers, and @IUFRO_Mike for serving as editors!):

Chestnut trees 🌳 dotted the American landscape until a blight slowly destroyed them. Can careful breeding restore them? @nhpr talks with @NH_AES researcher @jeffgarnas on his work at UNH: nhpr.org/nh-news/2023-08-01/…

Beech bark disease is a widespread cankering disease of American beech trees. NHAES scientist @jeffgarnas & his team are trying to better understand the how this disease spreads, as well as how the trees respond to it.

I'm recruiting a PhD student for Fall 2023! Lots of freedom to explore interdisciplinary research, but in the neighborhood of trait-based fungal dispersal & microbial movement ecology across spatial/temporal scales. Please RT! More info on how to apply: balachaudhary.com/join.html
Postdoc opportunity in my lab at the University of New Hampshire on climate and other drivers of parasitoid success. See: mypages.unh.edu/garnaslab/pa… Application review begins 10/1. Please RT! #eab @kasson_wvu @unhresearchnews

Super cool! Perfect fodder for my entomology course. Fun fact: eating locusts and kin is the only form of entomophagy sanctioned by the Bible (Leviticus 11:22,24). Staggering outbreak abundances + propensity to devastate crops HAVE to be part of that story.

Hey! I am hiring a technician. I am looking for someone who wants to work very closely with me and have major input on all facets of the lab. You don't need to know everything, I/we will train you and we will learn together! **Please RT** tinyurl.com/44sph6pp DMs are open.
The Southern pine beetle news coverage continues, most recently tapping @Kanaskie_MSc for a local TV spot. She's a natural! Click the big beetle for the video story. @unhresearchnews @MattAyres3 @FHReports newscentermaine.com/article/…
