Our big review paper on strepsipteran systematics for Insect Systematics and Diversity is out! Hoping it's a helpful resource for anyone who needs it.
Strepsiptera systematics: past, present, and future
Abstract. The twisted-wing parasites (Strepsiptera Kirby) are among the most obscure and enigmatic orders in the Insecta. Strepsipterans are endoparasites

Some of my favorite macro shots from #Bugshot Arizona! I feel so lucky to have learned from @alexwild.bsky.social @dradriansmith.bsky.social and @abbottnature.bsky.social! Bombardier beetles ripping apart a scarab, Thermonectus nigrofasciatus, Ululodes owlfly, and Notonecta milky backswimmer
Our Boise dragonfly research just got covered in the Idaho Statesman! @ethantolman.bsky.social is leading such a cool project and working to teach local high schoolers conservation genomics and entomology! ✨ Check it out! www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/c...
This insect is teaching Timberline High students about Boise ecosystems. Here’s how
Dragonflies are teaching researchers and students about Boise’s ecosystem and unlocking the larger mysteries of the insects’ behavior.

Attention all anglers! 🎣 We want to understand changes in aquatic insect hatches over time and need your help! 🐟 Please share widely and/or complete our survey to gather information on aquatic insect decline to advocate for their conservation! 🪰 Direct link here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/VXLMY89
Excited to see @gracie-castillo.bsky.social @harrisonpardue.bsky.social @eredman3.bsky.social @isaaclevesque.bsky.social @jiaweiz.bsky.social @bengallafent.bsky.social and others present at the annual conference of @odonataamericas.bsky.social after a week of research!
Reaaaally fell in love with Idaho and its aquatic biodiversity at the 2025 Life Outdoors Biodiversity Workshop! Such an honor to help our students learn this week! 🪰💓

Saw my first brood emergence of Magicicada septendecim yesterday with the Ware Lab!! And @entobiologist.bsky.social found the first crayfish species that was described in North America, Cambarus bartonii! So cool and such a wholesome day - I love our lab!!:))

HEY. live in nyc and have roaches? unfortunate. well you can at least donate them to my friend kate montana who's a grad student at cuny-rggs because she wants to know what the deal is with their gut microbiomes. sign up and hand over your roaches!! #invertebrates docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Moved the insect and mollusk collection from Long Island University to the American Museum of Natural History yesterday with @jessicalwarelab.bsky.social @mantodeology.bsky.social @mollusksatamnh.bsky.social @rebeccalopez.bsky.social and others friends! The diversity of mollusks was awesome!!
Had so much fun surveying aquatic inverts, building a drift fence, setting out gills nets and minnow traps for fish demographics, and collecting eDNA with some dear friends this weekend in the Adirondacks! 💌

Collaborating with @rin-krichilsky.bsky.social and Kanako Shimizu, we put together what's basically a top-ten list of ways to help foster trans inclusivity and awareness within our scientific and academic communities and would love if you could help share the guide!
Please fill out and share the Trans in STEM climate survey. Results will contribute to a write-up on advocating for safer STEM environments. You can find the survey in the second link here: linktr.ee/trans_inclus.... More info below.
