Hear from @machtingerlab.bsky.social if you should be worried about ticks.
Tick populations are increasing, possibly a result of climate change, and tick-related ER visits are spiking across the U.S. Experts share advice on how to assess your risk.

Probably too late (deadline is just days away) but if you know of any students looking for a M.S. opportunity, especially to work on inverts in Puerto Rico during the summers, they would need to reach out ASAP.
Please share. I'm recruiting up to 2 grad students to join my lab this fall and work on litter inverts or mosquitoes in Puerto Rico (summer start date possible). I am NOT taking non-U.S. students. Either student should have interests and background in ecology of insects. Details in ad.🦟🐜🪳🇵🇷🌴
