I am truly grateful for my time @CornellAgriTech and @PSU_Entomology. The opportunity to explore roles beyond academia was always a desire of mine, and these institutions played a large part in getting me to this point!

A new Tooker Lab paper tinyurl.com/5a63hkyk led by @MarionLeGall29 & @mtboucher provides more evidence that planting green with neonic-free corn or soybean seed can help control damage from slugs via a one-two punch of providing an alternative food source and more predators.

Ok extension Twitter: I am giving a talk @EB_Entsoc in April and I’m wondering what folks in the extension world wish they knew going into the job? What training do you wish you had as a grad student? What tips do you have now? Any and all replies appreciated!

You're not. Even the 1950's housewife mythos relied on the labor of the wife & some form of domestic help whether it was a full time maid or a mother's helper etc. And speed.

Bro how are you supposed to have a full time job, cook and clean, maintain relationships, and work on your own little projects. Seems fake

Our lab members are moving to a 4-day workweek this academic year. Studies show this increases staff happiness, productivity, and retention. We think that will hold for academic labs too. 🐸📈🔬

I was today years old when I learned that the National Black Farmer Association provides scholarships from $2,500 to $5,000 for Black students pursuing agriculture-related studies. Please share, so we can farm for the culture. (Citation: Farming While Black, 2018)

For perspective, here are some numbers:
1 in 1,000,000: J&J vaccine
1 in 3,000: oral contraceptives
1 in 5: hospitalized COVID-19 patients
As someone who got the J&J vaccine 8 days ago, and who took oral contraceptives for 20 years, I’ll take these odds.
