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…

Do you have questions about postmortem microbiomes? forensics? decomposition ecology? So do I! If you are a #futuregradstudent interested in these topics and wanting to beginning a masters program in #entomology soon, please consider applying...........................and #VOTE

UPDATED! Do you have questions about postmortem microbiomes? forensics? decomposition ecology? I still do! My lab is seeking a grad student to begin Fall 2021. Please RT! #gradschool #gradstudent #forensics #entomology #research #AcademicTwitter

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!

#usaid is requesting input on the value of insects as food and feed- please provide your POSITIVE input! sam.gov/opp/695092a41c…

AAP is excited to be hosting our next Public Dialogue “Insects for Food and Feed in Africa” on Wednesday, November 17th at 8:00am- 9:30am EDT. This dialogue session will be co-hosted by AAP consortium member - Makerere University. Learn more/register: msu.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

If you’re interested in disease ecology modeling, or know someone who may be interested, please check out (& RT) our new postdoc position!

Dr. Jen Pechal presenting on Nigerian pilot using #BSFL to power small scale aquaculture. Fantastic to see many diverse pan-African projects leveraging insects @IFW_2022!!! Eric Benbow The Baobab Home Farms for Orphans Jeff Tomberlin Dorte Verner

Benbow Lab thank you for supporting CIRD we now have volume 1 simplified training mannual for Ugandan BSF farmers

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

CIRD participates in the launch of the USAID PEER project. CIRD will offer capacity building and generate knowledge for BSF farmers..#bsfl #bsf #uganda

Glad to attend the Excellence in Insect Science Conference 2024. Thanks to mentors Eric Benbow Dr. Jen Pechal Benbow Lab thanks all BSF community in Uganda Center For Insect Research & Development (CIRD)

Our collaborative work beginning the process to potentially identifying postmortem microbiome markers for pediatric deaths is out. Pediatric postmortem microbiota could be a future tool to assess health preceding death. doi.org/10.1111/1556-4… National Institute of Justice MSU Entomology
