Can’t actually have DEI if we’re not including disabilities! Think about how accessible your campus, floor, building, or lab environment are for people with disabilities (including those that are invisible) and consider the impact that has on the scientific workforce

Actually bummed we are missing a Taylor Swift X ASTMH collab
Can we still have friendship bracelets at ASTMH, though?
🚨New Vector-Borne Disease National Strategy released by @HHSGov and @CDCgov🚨 Learn how 17 federal agencies are working together to prevent and control vector-borne diseases 🦟 Read the full strategy here: cdc.gov/ncezid/dvbd/pd… #VBD #OneHealth #PublicHealth @MilitaryHealth…
Is it “writing a review” or is it “spilling academic tea” ☕️
Are you a student/recent grad of a Minority Serving Institution and interested in Entomology? ESA's PHEFA program offers internships and fellowships at @CDC_NCEZID in Atlanta, Fort Collins, and San Juan. Learn more and apply by February 15 here: entsoc.org/advocacy-initi…
Surges in construction & urbanization in African cities can increase the chance of #AnophelesStephensi mosquitoes surviving year-round. Learn more about potential #malara control interventions that colleagues & CDC authors propose: bit.ly/41lwRDJ
(1/2) Have you ever wondered how we feed our mosquitoes in the insectary? Several SLCMAD personnel came up with a low-cost option for blood feeding mosquitoes! This blood feeding device is called the SLCMAD artificial membrane feeder, or SLAM for short (isn’t it a mouthful?😅).
I am currently recruiting a M.Sc. or PhD student interested in microbiology, immunology, and molecular biology to explore the intricacies of host/pathogen/tick dynamics at the skin level. If you have students interested in these topics, reach out.
Grateful to have the opportunity to go to #EntoSoc23 and share the results of @chaveztick project and my NJ network between friends

⚠️ BREAKING: Brazil 🇧🇷 reports its first outbreak of H5N1 bird flu in mammals. An infected sea lion was found on a beach on the coast of Rio Grande do Sul. Peru, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay have reported similar outbreaks of bird flu in sea lions during the past months.
We are excited to announce that our MS Entomology: Vector-Borne Disease Biology training program @CornellEnto is accepting new applicants! Apply by 1-Dec-2023 for admission in Fall 2024. Details on course of study, how to apply & support at neregionalvectorcenter.com/ms-in-entomolo…
My favorite thing about living in Colorado is the rabbits. I saw 5 rabbits on my run this morning. You will just drive around and see little eats sticking out of the grass, it’s amazing
Whoop! Well deserved @RachelBusselman 🎉👏🏻

(bene gesserit voice) THAT IS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS PAPER
I appreciated this detailed argument for the importance of open research in entomology. We should strive to make transparency the standard. It holds us accountable, it improves reproducibility, and it amplifies the broader impacts of the work. resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Shrek, is that you? No, it’s a mosquito pupa! And those aren’t ears! Pupae have two trumpet-like structures which is how they breathe at the water’s surface. The pupa is the third stage in a mosquito life cycle & do not feed, this is the time they are developing into adults.
