How can we make #entomology click with students? From entomemes to ento-games, Dr. Coffman’s trying it all! 🪲 🗓️ Sun, Nov 9 🕜 1:35–1:53 PM PT 📍 OCC C125–126 🧰 The General Entomology Toolbox: Activities and Practices for Improving a Foundational Course Symposium #EntSoc25 #FITatEntSoc25 #education

How can we make entomology more engaging for today’s students? Join us for Dr. Coffman’s talk highlighting creative, active-learning approaches, from entomemes(!) to ecological card games and family feud stlyle games, that spark curiosity, critical thinking, and connection to real-world entomology in the classroom!

Hello Biologists! My senior college students are learning about grant proposals. I've given them a 500K 3-year hypothetical grant for travel, supplies, personnel, publication costs, etc., It's hard to find sample grants with budgets and budget narratives - are you willing to share?

cmtribull.bsky.social @cmtribull.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

HEY! If you're an entomologist at an undergraduate-focused college that builds up hilarious amount of Malaise trap (or other passive collecting by-catch), perhaps you'd like to apply for a grant with me?

Hey! Are you an entomologist that does a lot of teaching, outreach, or extension education? I'm talking K-12, college education (like me! at a primarily undergrad college), and professional training. Then you should join the new pilot section Formal and Informal Training @entsocamerica.bsky.social

cmtribull.bsky.social @cmtribull.bsky.social · 02/07/2024

Over the last couple of years, I’ve developed horrible sneezing-fits the evening and day after sweepnetting sessions. Has this happened to other entomologists? Is it some sort of pollen allergy? It’s making fieldwork not great.

I'm pretty annoyed at ICE Kyoto right now. Are any other ICE symposium organizers feeling pretty frustrated and annoyed? I mistakenly thought that speakers I included when I submitted my symposium were "in" (including me!) and didn't need to submit during the open call. [1/n]

So excited for Entsoc23, less excited for the likely egg retrieval surgery I’m probably having the day before. At least I’ll have an excuse not to exercise at the meeting ;D
