Looking for CT residents to take a short survey about their lawn care practices. The results will help us refine our vegetation-focused #tick management study planned for this spring. Please share! Thomas Mather CT Emerging Infections Program at YaleSPH @westconn WCSU Integrative Biodiversity

That time on Royal Pains (Netflix) when suddenly the doc pulled a blacklegged #tick out of a guy’s ear, saving the patient’s future football career! 🤪

Great swag at today’s VBD symposium CAES!

AMAZING work being done by SECVBD collaborators at the UF/IFAS PIE Center!

Not sure who you are, but can we be friends? #ticks #vanityplate #Virginia

So, like, I don’t disagree with this advice I guess… but it’s not exactly a fortune.

#FranTick doesn’t get out much, mostly because she is HUGE and has limited peripheral vision (and ahem, we have research to do). But I kinda keep hoping someone will double-dog dare me to take her to a conference full of #tick nerds who might appreciate how truly great she is!

Get to know the CT Emerging Infections Program at YaleSPH one project at a time. This month the Tickborne Diseases Network (TickNET) - part 2! ysph.yale.edu/emerging-infec… Yale Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases CT Public Health Neeta Pardanani Connally

Our Tickborne Disease Prevention Laboratory is looking for local properties to survey for tick research. Learn how you can participate. Neeta Pardanani Connally news.wcsu.edu/wcsu-tick-lab-…

Anyone using a phone microscope attachment to view arthropods on the field? Looking for inexpensive options.

My first opinion piece ever! #ticks #Lyme #entomology

Do you do field work on vectors/arthropods of medical and veterinary relevance❓ 🦟🦠🪰 … or know someone who does❓ Please fill out and SHARE this short survey on biosafety practices in field research: docs.google.com/forms/d/1XP-_q… ASTMH MUVE ESA @_SOVE_ American Mosquito Control Association - AMCA LSTM Vector Biology

Well it finally happened…we ran out of unique colors for our #tick mark-recapture work. TBH we didn’t expect I scap nymphs to live this long in mowed lawns. Week 8! 😳

Was hoping to get off of Twitter (X). If you’re on BlueSky will you follow me? [at]ticklab.bsky.social. Meanwhile, are folks planning to still use X during #EntSoc24 this week? I want to leave but am also nervous to cut this cord! Entomological Society of America

It really is time to say goodbye to Twitter (X). It is going to be tough to start over again but I hope you will join me where the skies are blue: [at]ticklab.bsky.social #byebyeelon
