Totally lost it and made friends with the women beside us who knew that singing along passionately was necessary.

Okay, folks. It is nearly time for my annual posting of @gfun.earth's fashion sense as we enjoy music in the desert. Prepare yourselves.

One of the greatest things anyone has ever said to me was to explain that when you randomly decide to pick up a rock it’s because the rock has decided it wants to travel. It gives me joy to ponder.

Now that you've presented your research at #EntSoc25, when you're ready to publish, publish with ESA! Learn more about ESA publications: academic.oup.com/insect-scien...

The photograph depicts the ESA Publications booth at Entomology 2025. There is a column that says "Publish with purpose" behind a table and two chairs. The conference center expo hall can be seen behind the column.

The last day of #EntSoc25 marked the yearly transition in ESA volunteer leadership, as 2025 President Lina Bernaola (left) passed the gavel to 2026 President Melissa Siebert (right). ESA thanks Lina for her service to the Society and we look forward to Melissa’s stewardship of our community in 2026!

#Coachella day 3. @gfun.bsky.social has found an array of colors by embracing the floral theme of the festival. Making friends with pastel arts.

#Coachella Day 2. Gareth has learned about color after day 1 in black and white. He has embraced orange as the reason for all things. Making new friends around the festival.

Gareth dressed all in orange with his new friend the bighorn sheep (painted on lockers).

#Coachella day 1! Yes, it's an opportunity to wear spectacular outfits and gain exposure for your Insta, but one can also take the opportunity to see music! Shown here: Lady Gaga, The Prodigy, Missy Elliott and The Marias. Simply splendid!

Lady Gaga from a long way away, being carried aloft by a throng of white-outfitted dancers. She has some interesting finger extensions on. Her set was amazing!

Maxim and Liam of The Prodigy, bathed in deep red lighting. Significant numbers of older British people (ahem) at the front for this one, raving against the years like it was 1993.

Missy Elliott (small) standing in front of a projection of herself (large) on the big screen. Tremendous fun dancing to the classics, getting one's freak on, etc.

The Marias, splendid, slinky sounds with a hint of guitar. They show up on my music feeds all the time, so clearly this is the sort of thing I am supposed to like. And I do!

I've been absent lately, but it wouldn't be April if I skipped sharing @gfun.bsky.social and his outfits at #Coachella. Day 1 and I spent most of the day trying to pique his interest in color.

Once you've presented your research at #EntSoc24, we hope you'll make an ESA journal the first choice for your next publication. Visit our partners at Oxford University Press in the Exhibit Hall and learn more about ESA journals at insectscience.org.

Covers of several ESA journals stand vertically on a table, with info handouts and business cards in front of each.

One thing I love about my scientific field is how it stresses the importance of #sciencecommunication. We as entomologists and scientists are called on to, not only, do good science, but to share that science with others. #ESA2024 entomologytoday.org/2024/11/11/e...

Entomologists Get a New Call to Action in the Fight Against Disinformation

At Entomology 2024, science writer Shawn Otto told entomologists that pushing back on forces aligned against objectivity is a critical part of their job.

The #EntoFashion never disappoints at the ESA Annual Meeting! #EntSoc24

A woman stands in a hallway and wears a black dress with a pattern featuring many drawings of various insects, and she holds a green tote bag with that also features a variety of insect drawings. She has curly hair and wears a conference badge. Another person is visible in the background, walking past.

A bearded man wears a patterned shirt featuring hercules beetles with wings spread. He poses smiling, holding an entomology booklet and giving a thumbs up. He has a conference badge with the name "Chris" on it. People in the background are at an event in a large hall.

A person with long curly hair wears a blue and gray shirt with "TOX" written on it, above an image depicting the silhouette of a small mosquito larva with the silhouette of a much larger mosquito larva below it, mimicking the poster for the movie Jaws. The person is standing in a building with modern architecture and light fixtures.

Two people standing indoors, smiling at the camera. One is wearing a collared shirt with flowers and luna moths, black pants, and a name tag. The other is wearing a purple shirt, leggings featuring a honeycomb pattern and honey bees, a plaid jacket, and a name tag.
