#HispanicHeritageMonth is Sept. 15—Oct. 15. As ESA celebrates the work of Hispanic and Latin American scientists in entomology, we encourage members to mark their calendars for the "SomosEnto" symposium at #EntSoc25: entomology2025.eventscribe.net/fsPopup.asp?...

Septiembre / September 📚🧋🍨 • I hope this is a judgement free zone 🫣 • I liked the series and decided to read the books. One of those cases were the series > books. Now we wait for the movie 🙃

Agosto / August 📚🧋• Current affairs are depressing, I needed some sobering reading.

Julio / July 📚 🍨 🍓 🍵 • The book of summer 2025: Charlie Florek is a top tier book boyfriend 🥰 • The other 📖 I read in preparation for the Netflix movie. It was alright. I liked that it brought a different perspective: falling in love while facing mortality.

Junio / June 📖☕️ • 🔟 years ago I was in the biggest farm in the 🇺🇸 and I didn’t know it • This book is dense and some things were very hard to read, but learned about the farm, water management, government/laws, the farmers, and the communities in the San Joaquin Valley, CA 🌱🚜👨🏽‍🌾👩🏻‍🌾

Here I go again 🫣… maybe second time is the charm? 🗳️ #ESAPBT 🐛🔬

April + May 📚☕️ • I can’t resist a good romance story with a happy ending 💛❤️

Development of a test design for a semi-field, colony-feeding study for the common eastern bumble bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Abstract. Ecological risk assessment is a key component of the regulatory process required for registration of crop protection products around the world. T

I’m happy to share that our new manuscript describing methodology for a bumble bee 🐝 colony feeding study was published today in @entsocamerica.bsky.social’s Environmental Entomology | My co-authors and I worked very hard to complete it… Check it out 👉🏽 academic.oup.com/ee/advance-a...

March 📚 • Book 1, another great recommendation from @quantitude.bsky.social. Enjoyed learning how statistical concepts and methods emerged, but the best part was how the book humanized these giants in statistics • Book 2, interesting take linking selected plants and human desires 🍎🌷🚬🥔

Febrero | February 📚 • Historias de mujeres, cada una tan distinta a las otras, así como en la vida real.

ESA members: This year, we're asking members to review a set of proposals to improve the governance structure of your professional society. Join us TOMORROW, Feb. 6 at 2 p.m. ET for a webinar, "ESA Governance Upgrade, Explained," to learn more and ask questions. www.entsoc.org/events/webin...

Enero 📖 • Cada página, una reflexión • Afortunada de tener a mi Dominga 👵🏼💕

Starting 2025 with a great professional opportunity: Serving as the 2025 Chair of the Pollinator Research Task Force 🐝📊🤝 (PRTF) Technical Committee • I’ll share about projects, presentations and members through the year • For more information about the PRTF 👉🏼 pollinatorresearchtaskforce.com

December 📖 • Motivated by my visit to Yellowstone National Park 🏞️ this summer • Admirable women that lived/worked at the park in the late 1800’s/early 1900’s. I’m inspired by their courage and how they broke barriers and stereotypes • YNP is wonderland indeed 🌳🦬🦅🤩

Reflecting on the busy but productive 2024 with my Pollinator Ecotoxicology Lab teammates • paper published 📄, data for an international ring test with solitary 🐝 🐝, expanded the exposure characterization work, + much more • #pollinatorsafety at Bayer CropScience 🌱🚜

I try to read at least one book every month • This is my November 📖, a recommendation from @quantitude.bsky.social • not the most entertaining read, but I appreciate the effort to make statistics more relatable and less complicated that it needs to be, plus the historical bits.

I failed your first quiz Matt 😰

First impression: cicada (?) 😬

Hi! I’m here for the science and the positive vibes ✨ Interested in all things 🐝, entomology, agriculture, the environment, statistics… I enjoy reading at coffee shops, concerts and travel. Hoping to connect with other kindred spirits 🙂
