Why would you ever admire a billionaire? Not least when there’s so many charming ants supporting the brood and keeping it real.

.@MilesMaxcer of @UFEntNem and Eugenijus Kavaliauskas, photographer of this viral image of a carpenter ant, find beauty in this close-up of an "instrumental organism." Twitter users found terror. wapo.st/3TXin8m
It’s time to set the record straight: ants are downright cute!
@MilesMaxcer joined @washingtonpost’s @marialuisapaulr to talk all about ants and the critical roles they play in terrestrial ecosystems around the world. – at Gainesville, FL
Yes, this photo might look like nightmare fuel BUT turns out ants are preventing the world from imploding and they’re actually a bit cuter.
Here’s a bit on how ✨that✨ photo came to be and why you might want to think twice before squishing an ant. washingtonpost.com/nation/20…

Entomology graduate programs are failing their students, and @mkirchner_ants & @JanePetzoldt’s article shows the enormous gap between grad student take-home pay and the increasing cost of living across the US. This unsustainable & inequitable status quo threatens our discipline! – at Gainesville, FL
In the Spring 2022 issue of American Entomologist, @mkirchner_ants and @JanePetzoldt take a critical eye to stipends for students in entomology graduate programs in the U.S., finding they typically fall short of a living wage. doi.org/10.1093/ae/tmac018

Nice new paper out by @OhyamaLeo !
Functional and species diversity changes seasonally at local scales and is important to understand and control for when evaluating changes over longer geographic areas and time periods! Great job Leo! track.smtpsendmail.com/90321…
