I am pleased to share a series of novel hypotheses concerning chemically mediated plant-plant interactions science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Last week, I had a great time sharing my research at the Texas A&M TAMU College of Agriculture & Life Sciences 👍 Symposium hosted by TAMU ASGSA ! Excited to have been successful in the student competition along with my fellow Helms Lab - Chemical Ecology mate, Skai!! Congrats to all! Texas A&M Entomology

Excited to share recently published work from my dissertation comparing foliar and root herbivore-induced plant volatiles!! Lots of intriguing patterns emerged, such as stronger volatile induction aboveground than belowground...Check it out!! Helms Lab - Chemical Ecology doi.org/10.1111/plb.13…

Congratulations, Morgan Thompson (@entothompson.bsky.social) , on your successful dissertation defense this week! We are very proud of everything you have accomplished during your time at Texas A&M Entomology It's also great to see you back in Texas, Laura Marmolejo

We are thrilled to announce the promotions of Dr. Adrienne Brundage, Dr. Anjel Helms, & Detective Scott Kovar! These faculty member's dedication & commitment to excellence have been instrumental in advancing our department’s achievements in both research & academics! #TAMUBugs

Attending #EntSoc24? Interested in chemical ecology, plant volatiles, or insect behavior? Passionate about leveraging these research areas for sustainable agroecosystems? Then see our symposium! @OliviaBernauer Esther Ngumbi Kelsey Tobin @PhytoAriel Dr. Xavier Martini - Entomologist Haley Carter

Be sure to stop by our ESA symposium TODAY from 8:00am-11:00am, Room 122 A!! We have an excellent lineup of speakers!! @OliviaBernauer Esther Ngumbi Kelsey Tobin @PhytoAriel Dr. Xavier Martini - Entomologist Haley Carter

I had a great time at ESA this year in Phoenix, AZ! It was a wonderful opportunity to share my research, connect with colleagues and friends, and host an exciting symposium on plant volatiles and insect behavior!

I graduated!! Endless gratitude to my PhD advisor, Dr. Anjel Helms Helms Lab - Chemical Ecology, who is an amazing scientist/mentor/friend/colleague. Very thankful for a great experience at Texas A&M Entomology. In January, I will start a postdoc with Karin Burghardt burghardt lab at UMD Entomology!

I really enjoyed sharing my research with folks at UMD during the Department of Entomology weekly seminar series! Great to be back in Maryland and diving into a new study system! 🐛🌳

Good news! My article received enough views to be a Top Viewed Article. Read it here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… #TopViewedArticle Wiley in research Plant Cell & Environment

📢 If you study insect behavior and plant volatiles, contribute to our special collection in Environmental Entomology, "Plant Volatiles in Insect Pest Management and Sustainable Agriculture" ! Manuscripts due Aug 15; DM/email for details & please share! ESA Early Career Professionals Committee Entomological Society of America

Check out our recent publication on plant defense strategies!! We found that plants favor tolerance against belowground root-feeders compared to aboveground insect herbivores and much more!! Helms Lab - Chemical Ecology Jack Bradford doi.org/10.1016/j.baae…

Congratulations to this hard-working team of Aggie Research Scholars! Rachel, Jack, Jayda, and Gage. We were so fortunate to have you as a part of our lab and are proud of you for your accomplishments. Looking forward to seeing what you will achieve next after graduation.

I had a great time sharing recent work at the Ecological Society of America Annual Meeting in Baltimore, MD!! Always nice to meet new folks and reconnect with others!! Karin Burghardt burghardt lab

Last week, I was invited to share my postdoctoral research at the UMD Entomology Department Retreat. We are finding that neighboring tree diversity impacts leaf phenotypic expression and induces trade-offs against different consumers. More coming soon!!

Giving a seminar later this week at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire!! UW-Eau Claire Looking forward to connecting with students and sharing my research!!
