The first list of the bee species in Washington - a catalog of the bees of the state. This was a collaboration of entomologists at the Washington State Department of Agriculture @WSDAgov and Washington State University @WSUEntomology . The publication is open access.

If you're in Salt Lake this weekend, please come to BugFest 2022 at the Utah Natural History Museum. We'll be there to talk about bee diversity and biology. Nice UPR write-up from my student @c_meidty_bees upr.org/utah-news/2022…

Loved talking with Dr. Universe! We chatted about the fact that mantids and cockroaches are closely related.

Suggestions for best haplotype network software? ~15 years ago, I was using TCS for haplotype networks. I remember it kept crashing on me. What are people using today? I'd appreciate any advice!

Following up -- I ended up purchasing the warranty. Equipment just arrived, so I will have five years' wait to see if I make use of the warranty...

Advice needed, please! Do you purchase the warranty offered for lab equipment? I'm buying an expensive device. Item costs ~$30K & 3rd party warranty is $5K for yrs 2-5 (seller covers 1st yr). I don't think it's worth it and would be glad to get thoughts on lab item warranties.

Yes, we'll have a great group of collaborators on this project! And there will be grad students at several institutions working towards the same larger goals. @bramic21 is also bringing on a PhD student for next fall, so check out that opportunity, too.

A connected PhD position from our Bees of the World grant. You'll get to collaborate with a diverse team of academic and government researchers on a very important topic. Apply now either for WSU or USU! @thecriticalbee @DanforthLab @PhyloSolving
