Arthro-Pod EP 96: Writing about entomology with Eric Eaton

 

The arthro-pod team had the pleasure of interviewing Eric Eaton, an author and professional entomologist, who is a true maverick in creating opportunities for himself. Though he holds no degree in entomology, he has established himself a science communicator and entomology expert on several platforms. Find out why pursuing a degree in entomology was a disappointment to him, how he struggled with career identity for several years, the challenges and joys of being a writer, the problem with industry and science, and advice for young people with an interest in entomology.

Episode 24: Writing for Entomology Today with Richard Levine

That's right bug lovers, it's a double header of entomology podcasts for you! 

Yesterday we heard from Dr. Marianne Shockley about eating insects and today we get to hear from Richard Levine of the Entomological Society of America! Richard teaches me about risk communication and how this style of communication can help scientists and we also discuss how you (yes you!) can hone your writing skills by contributing to Entomology Today. 

So open up your favorite word processor, plug in your headphones and then listen and make the first draft of your future article!

This podcast was made on the road at our international congress back in September. Be prepared for some fuzzy sound quality!
