170,000 farmers to date trained to raise #bsf via @incipe and @AmulenRuth in Africa- FULL stop! 1,000,000 farmers is a reachable goal! @BenbowLab @tamuentomology

It’s an amazing experience seeing the enormous diversity of products from BSF in Kenya.
Thanks to all of the authors for amazing contributions to the second edition of the carrion ecology book that hit the presses a few days ago. This was about 2 years in development and has major additions.

Don’t worry about the quality of roads before, during or after a hurricane. Who needs quality roads?

So very honored to be a small part of this amazing field and movement to build sustainable food security
#GIFA25 Day 1 is glowing with great insights. In another session filled with insight and impact, Prof. Eric M. Benbow shared powerful thoughts on the theme "Insect as Animal Feeds for Sustainable Livestock Production and Livelihoods."

Interested in postdoc position in my lab? We do a lot of decomposition ecology (black soldier fly and blow fly as models). Will get experience in grant writing, as well as opportunity to diversify research toolbox - microbes, genetics, volatiles, behavior, more- DM if interested

Similar situation taken in Ghana a few years ago with ants.

There are many predators in the Serengeti- but this one is #1 - right!? An ant about 1.5-2.0 cm long eating an adult blow fly!! Entomology Rules!!
Replying to @FliesFacility
I would agree! I think the opportunistic and facultative insects are soooo important to carrion decomposition- need more studies like you are doing! Cool stuff.
