A very unhappy International Women's Day in Science in the US with a collapsing funding system and thought crimes instituted with so-called banned words. But, I am extremely proud of all the amazing women scientists I have supported over the years and the fact that my lab remains majority female. 🧪🧑🏻🔬

Our lab finally optimized a light preference assay for stored product pests. A bright spot for the week. We are very excited to test different wavelengths and intensities! #Farm2Fork #entomology

I was invited for a seminar to #UFL at the Ft Pierce Indian Research and Education Center by Dr. Nicole Quinn and it was a sublime visit. Filled with subtropical flora and fauna, beaches, USDA scientists, and parasitoids, gee gads!

The #MorrisonLab had a hike to celebrate PhD Candidate Sabita Ranabhat's birthday. It was very festive on what felt to be the first true fall-like day. #labbonding

Pushing the limits on the amount of green I see in a day as a Stored Product Entomologist with processing spillage samples to look at how the insect community composition varies with landscape elements. #farm2fork
