Check out our new publication on outreach insect drawers, developed in collaboration with graduate students in museum studies!
Researchers introduce a quick-assessment tool for insect outreach drawers based on five criteria: information, relevance, aesthetics, potential for engagement, and inspiration.

Over winter break, KU BioGEM scholar Liam Wrixon and I joined Smithsonian scientist Bill Wcislo in Panama to study nocturnal pollinators. Our research took us to Barro Colorado Island in the Panama Canal, and Fortuna, a cloud forest near Costa Rica. Here are some highlights!
