Graphic announcing a job opportunity for an Assistant Professor of Informal Entomology Education at the University of Florida Entomology & Nematology Department. The header reads “JOB OPPORTUNITY” with an icon of a megaphone. Below, a central illustration shows two hands shaking, forming an insect-like shape with antennae. Text highlights that the department seeks a passionate educator to lead and assess informal and non-formal educational programming. The position directs UF’s Outreach Program, including a bug zoo and hands-on training. A QR code and link (https://bit.ly/uflentojob) are provided for more information.

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?
Woah! Friggin rad! I’m glad a love of dryinids is spreading in the world.
This is totally fine too - gimme your big winkler and pitfall friends
@hormiga.bsky.social - maybe you could suggest some folks?
This grant is about improving biology education through building networks. So, my idea: Wide-spread passive trapping, sharing by-catch, doing barcoding CUREs (Course-based Undergrad Research Education) in our entomology/biology classes, presentation/professional development opportunities for UGs
