It's National Invasive Species Awareness Week! Help protect our ecosystems. Plant natives! If you can't, make sure what you are planting is not considered an issue in your area. Our friends over at the UF/IFAS Assessment make that easy for Floridians!

PhD student @kellycrazbugs released Brazilian peppertree thrips into field plots this week to investigate combining biological control with herbicides. This has potential to provide long-term, effective control of Brazilian peppertree. #UFBiocontrol #UFBugs #UFIFAS

We need a "unicorn"? Someone who knows German, Latin, and is familiar with insect/ weevil terminology. Anyone out there with this (very) specific skill set?

@_Astro_Nerd_ I did. I had a great support system including advisor, mentors, family, and graduate student cohort. The department head made it a point to ensure students had a positive and supportive community on campus. I think that is key and I strive to provide that for my students.

Shout out to my crew! These people are hard working, still-smiling-after-7-hours-of-fieldwork in sweltering 101 heat index weather, and 💯 here for the #Minteerlab and @UFIFAS_IRREC team. I couldn't be more proud to be working alongside them! #UFBiocontrol #ufbugs
