This is a road production so you will hear hotel noises and the jingle jangle of our name tags as we get animated!

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!

Halloween Week's Terrifying Insects: Vampire moths!

This Halloween week I would like to highlight some scary insects for you. While I normally endorse bugs and try to get people to not look upon them with fear and loathing, that doesn't mean that all insects are cuddly, wuddly woolyworms. Some can capture our greatest fears and make them real. Such as today’s scary bug, the vampire moth!
