Check out my interview on @Arthro_Podshow! We had a great talk about forensic entomology and lots of other topics. open.spotify.com/episode/0YB… @PurdueInsects @bugmanjon @mskvarla36 @JodyBugsMeUNL

The hologenome concept is here today and will not let you down tomorrow, whatever it takes. The future is part reductionist and part holistic.

Swanne Gordon (@swannegordon), new asst. prof. in our Dept. of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, joined CALS to study the evolution of rapid trait diversity & how diversity is maintained under environmental change, mainly working with 🐟 & 🦟. Welcome! cals.cornell.edu/news/2022/1…

ALT Meet our new faculty: Swanne Gordon, assistant professor, ecology and evolutionary biology "It may be baffling for people when I tell them I am studying how environmental change affects sexual traits in a tropical fish or a palearctic moth in terms of understanding bigger picture queries. However, these experiments all combine to fill in pieces of a larger puzzle examining how the world works."

New study out in @JAppliedEcology led by former postdoc Ashley Leach. We show that implementing IPPM on commercial watermelon farms can virtually eliminate insecticide use (from 22 total sprays down to 1) while increasing pollination & yields! 🍉🐝

Really happy to see this in print. Led by the fantastic PhD student @jenni_kane, she brainstormed the idea, sought and won funding to see it through, learned some nematology skillz, did the thing, wrote it up, got it published in @ESAEcology! @ESA_EarlyCareer @ESAMicrobe
New in @ESAEcology:

Do you want to expand the impact of your microbiome data? As an @MicrobiomeData ambassador, I have made a video about how metadata standardization can increase the scientific reach of your data and it is easily compatible with @qiime2.

Please retweet! As part of a newly funded NSF project, @NicoleGerardo and I are looking for a postdoc to study the role of plant chemicals and microbes in shaping the monarch butterfly gut microbiome and parasite resistance.
