Proud to share my story and advocate for federal science funding in my hometown paper, the @orlandosentinel.com. I hope you'll join me in calling our elected officials to prevent devastating cuts to the NSF, NIH, and now other agencies like the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Backyard nature observations can be downright amazing. Check this Aphid Wasp looking for an aphid to lay it's egg in, but a cadre of ants are protecting those aphids! Why? Learn more next Monday when Nature's Archive #naturepodcast releases our ant episode with @chloejelley.bsky.social!
An aphid wasp, which lays its eggs in aphids, approaches a flower bud covered in over 100 aphids. But a half dozen ants are protecting those aphids.
