So long, old friend
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
As dismissals and program closures mount at agencies like the USDA-ARS, ripple effects will include more pests in fields, fewer pollinators, rising food costs, and more invasive species. Learn more in part one of a new series on impacts of cuts to federal funding for insect science. buff.ly/tzR2Ta7

From my old neighborhood in DC: Construction shuts down street to cars, residents’ sense of community, quality of life goes up. Makes you think about what we lose in optimizing everything in our lives to cars.
Or, "Tiny Tags Track Tephritid Travels."
At @entsocamerica.bsky.social we also run into this issue at times with the Endangered Species Act.
Public service announcement: Mow your leaves. Don’t rake them.
80% of the work with less stress on your back. Also, less wasteful.
Been doing this for years. Great for your grass the next spring too.

I don’t know what the official threshold is to warrant saying “cha-ching,” but 46 cents is definitely below it.

The time I "counted" all the bricks on my college campus and wrote about it. Twenty years ago today.
I’ve been an editor and writer of features and shorter stuff for, let’s say, a very long time. Let me tell you the two secret unlock phrases for working with an editor…

This is now the second earthquake I've experienced in my life, both without realizing what it was in the moment. I guess maybe it'd be better to keep it that way?
Thought it was just a low-flying helicopter or a big truck going by. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...
April 5, 2005. Exactly two months before I graduated from college. (It was time for me to get a non-university email address to put on my resume and job applications.)
"In a new paper published in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America, Hurd and colleagues offer a new origin story for B. borealis. They suggest the entire population, which is to say the entire species, may stem from a single female mantis arriving in North America."
two regulations that would be an utter no brainer in a sane country:

As a parent of young kids, I took one look at the picture of brochosomes and immediately thought of an Oball!
Back at #EntSoc22 in Vancouver, I ran into @insects247.bsky.social in the Exhibit Hall, and she showed me her photo in the conference art show, an SEM image of leafhopper brochosomes. I was amazed.
Excited to have her sharing her research on these little marvels on Entomology Today:
If Burke was charged for using the methods his lawyers say he did to obtain information, then many, many journalists could also be charged with the same "offenses".
Including me.
If Burke's version is the truth, this is outrageous government overreach.

Some really great videos with this one.
Perks of the job: I got to tour some science labs this week, including seeing the inner workings of a scanning electron microscope!
