Really great to see Jay Cheon-Sohn, former lab mate during graduate school @umaryland.edu and Smithsonian. An amazing microlepidopterist and fossil insect expert, who is visiting the McGuire Center @floridamuseum.bsky.social this week! It’s been 13 years since we last saw each other

A few pics from our recent trip to #CostaRica to study…. #bagworms! Was super fun trip with my @floridamuseum.bsky.social students and postdoc, and @ajmongue.bsky.social and his lab. They are all so great! Would love to go again soon!

Just listened to an amazing @radiolab.bsky.social episode on Jo Nagai, a 10-year-old from Japan who made a major discovery on how butterflies learn. Touching story- his work is at university level. He speaks to me in fluent english- truly impressive for a native Japanese kid npr.org/podcasts/452...
