Interested in how insects, microbes & their interactions can be used to transform lives by increasing food security, improving human health, and forensics!

Bittersweet to say farewell to Dr. Deborah Amulen. She accomplished so many goals towards using insects as feed during her year as an MSU AAP fellow. I’m very excited to see her future successes! Hopefully, I’ll be able to visit Uganda soon. Safe travels! Keep up the great work!

Excited to see work led by an excellent grad student (sans social) published today (#oa). The complexity of this postmortem data is sometimes not super fun, but those challenges led to a different analytical approaches with interesting results. Well done! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Our team was able to pivot to get some new and potentially exciting data of Mycobacterium ulcerans in the USA that still directly supports the French Guiana work.

Could we have prevented the COVID-19 pandemic if we better understood how humans come into contact & affect wildlife? Entomologist Eric Benbow studies how pathogens in aquatic insects can emerge & spread disease. Small organisms, epic possibilities #SpartansWill #SpartanInsects

Anyone in the Lansing area looking for a swarm of bees? They seem friendly. Please pass along the message to your friendly beekeeper, and DM me for more info!

An indescribable tragedy. Thoughts are with Al’s family, friends, and loved ones. Her kindness, enthusiasm, and quest for knowledge will be greatly missed. #MSUStrong
