It's a great second day at #MVCAC2024! Yesterday was about 3D printing; today is sterilizing male mosquitoes and using drones. All cool ways to protect people from mosquitoes.
Excited to be at the MVCAC annual conference in Monterey. The theme of Vector Control in the Modern World highlights the need for innovation and adaptability to ensure we continue to protect people from mosquitoes, vectors, and the diseases they can transmit
As we end 2023, maybe you're thinking of resolutions and goals for 2024. One of mine this year was to take the BCE exam, showing I know insects. I received my packet a few days ago (only some the swag pictured). Want cool stuff? Learn more at: entocert.org/bce@entsocamerica.bsky.social
Earthquakes wait for no one. Gareth @gfun.bsky.social is participating in an earthquake preparedness exercise where the participants act as if an earthquake has occurred and work through their respective responsibilities. Preparing now means that they can respond better when the earthquake happens.
I know we don't have critical mass on here like we did at the Other Site, but would anybody be interested in a neurodiversity in entomology workshop and symposium at the next EntSoc meeting?
And with a handover of the gavel, @jenniferahenke.bsky.social is now the President of Bugs (i.e. of the Entomological Society of America). And she gave a great opening address!
Happy to hear the news that people are reconsidering common names of birds. What an excellent move! www.npr.org/2023/11/01/1...
