Black and white photo of Jesse William Lazear who is wearing a suit and has a mustache, beard, and dark well cropped hair. He intentionally allowed mosquitoes infected with yellow fever to bit him to prove the transmission hypothesis. He later died of the disease.

Right up there with having students chart their family tree for class. "Talk to your relatives", do some research, test your DNA. So many things can go wrong. Don't.

Stories from my chem profs about the days of mouth pipetting acids, etc. and people loosing part of their tongue were wild. Like WTF folks.

First thing that jumped to mind. Not sure why...

Gonna tell the kids this was the Gatsby Mar a lado party.

There only seems to be two views on wealth, hoard as much as possible at the expense of others or give it all away. There is a middle ground, where we take care of ourselves and use the rest to lift others up.

This is an indication that you are not a selfish person and consider yourself to be a part of something larger. This is seemingly rare if you buy into the media narrative and actions by a lot of voters.

Does it wander though? In other words, can a spider that is wandering be a non-wandering spider and are there wandering spiders that don't wander?

If he's wandering around does that make him a wandering spider?

Never forget.

Close call at Logan Airport highlights air traffic controller stress, safety concerns A Delta flight narrowly avoided a runway conflict with a Cape Air flight while trying to land on Thursday afternoon.

Any of my insect colleagues having second thoughts about attending the @entsocamerica.bsky.social meeting in Portland? For me its not the situation on the ground but the real concern about flying on a plane.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

This is sad. Made worse by climate change and likely to receive little US aid because of any number of "reasons". This recovery is going to be long.

Thanks Miguel.

Thanks. Its never easy especially when he'll likely be otherwise healthy when we have to let him go.

Fuck cancer. He likely has an tumor on his spine explaining his lack or coordination. He'll get steroids for as long as he has quality left. I'm broken knowing we'll be saying goodbye this soon.

The 2025 Teen Vogue journalism award goes to...

Roses are red,
Violets are trippy,

I wish!

That's it, I'm out. Good knowing you all.

Gonna have to change my lectures now.

He's at the hospital for an MRI tomorrow. We're hoping it's something we can help him with. Fingers crossed.

I have a PhD opportunity with @juliakoricheva.bsky.social at @rhulbiology.bsky.social and @rbgkew.bsky.social to research the effect of forest diversification on understory forage provision for pollinators in an experimental mixed forest in Finland. www.trees-dla.ac.uk/projects/eff... please share

An email showing an advertisement for a product claiming to control corn rootworm from the Entomological Society of America.

@entsocamerica.bsky.social Since when did the society start advertising specific products to its members? I don't think this is what our scientific organization should be doing to remain objective even with a disclaimer. I'm not a fan of receiving email spam from my society.

A set of glowing eyes is seen in the darkness under a bed.

Our oldest moved one of our cats (who is strongly bonded to her) to her apartment at college. This is the photo she sent us. Told her to sleep with the lights on.

I used them for several years in my bigger lectures. Once Smart phones and Apps became more ubiquitous then the company switched over. Students still use them for in-class responses, but no longer using this separate tech.

We have a very unusual animal that we'd love to collaborate with someone on to work it up for a description. On the old site I had someone who was interested but I've lot their info.
