Inspiring plenary from @JessicaLWareLab! Everyone should have access to entomology. There are still many barriers to access though! Safety of fieldwork countries for LGBTQIA researchers needs more consideration, for example. #Ento22

@Thripidave: Thrips are important disease vectors but their mitochondrial genome is weird, complicating barcoding and leading to messy phylogenies! New phylogeny from shotgun sequencing assemblies provides stronger evidence. Can assess virus relationships simultaneously! #Ento22
