Someone asked me “how long does it take to spread and prepare a butterfly specimen?” Well, depends on the species. Usually 20 sec…. 😂

Learn how @Hoosierflyman (aka Dan Tracey) came to do what he does today, what he'd do if he wasn't, and more! In an interview by @CurrentBiology: authors.elsevier.com/a/1eTYZ…
Dan Tracey sits at a microscope in his lab. Bottles of fruit flies are on the counter next to the microscope. Students work in the background.
