Julie Peterson has been named the interim director of the West Central Research, Extension and Education Center. She will continue her own research and outreach efforts while also guiding WCREEC in expanding its impact in west central Nebraska. Details 📲 ow.ly/TFnm50VTVyk
Check out the article below featuring a recent study from the plant-insect interactions lab @UNLEntomology on how sorghum defends itself against the fall armyworm.🌱
Husker scientists continue to advance the understanding of sorghum's natural defenses, new findings that can strengthen crop resistance to a major pest threat, the fall armyworm. Details: go.unl.edu/sk7e #Nebraska #UNL @UNLEntomology @UNL_IANR
Kashish Verma, a Master's Research Student at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is researching how lignin modification affects sorghum's resistance to sugarcane aphid. Her work seeks sustainable solutions to manage this pest and strengthen sorghum's natural defenses.
When you return to your grad room after months and find a care package from @BrunerUnl waiting on your desk! @UNLEntomology Bruner Club is AWESOME!!

If I were to describe my research in one word, it would be "RESISTANCE". What's yours? Check out one-word descriptions from @UNLincoln's grad students in the video below. Thanks to @UNL_IANR for organizing the Science Communication Workshop and the opportunity to participate!🌱
One word, endless impact. 💡✨ Graduate students at @UNLincoln share the essence of their groundbreaking research in the College of Agriculture, Science, & Natural Resources! 🌱🔬
Had a wonderful time at #EntSoc24! Presented my first ever talk, happy to win 2nd place in P-IE: Ecology & IPM section! Grateful for the inspiring connections made, learnings, and meaningful moments shared. Here’s to celebrating science and growing together! #GoBugRed 🐞




#EntSoc24 Please stop by the @BrunerUnl ‘s table in the exhibit hall, today at 7:30 PM onwards! We’ve got lots of cool bug T-shirts and accessories! 🐞🐛🐜🦟🪲

Excited for #EntSoc24!! Come join us and listen to the talks from the Plant-Insect Interactions Lab, @UNLEntomology! Looking forward to seeing you there.🌱

Excited to be a part of this symposium! See y’all in a week!
Presenting leading-edge techniques or concepts can be challenging, but our brave expert speakers are taking on the 8-minute challenge with <4 slides! Learn about cutting-edge techniques in a short-form, digestible format! Then, ask questions and network with them. ✨#EntSoc24
Save the Date! Dr. David Coyle will be joining us on 11.19.24 at 3 pm. @drdavecoyle @true_bug @unlagrohort @UNL_CASNR @UNLEntomology @UNL_PlantPath @UNLSNR @UNL_IANR @UNLExtension
I’m happy to share that the manuscript me and my colleagues at @Bayer4CropsUS 🐝🌱🚜 worked hard on was published at @EntsocAmerica’s Environ. Entomol. Journal academic.oup.com/ee/advance-art…
Mark your calendars for an exciting one-hour mini-workshop at #EntSoc24! Join us for an insightful session on navigating career transitions, sharing challenges & celebrating triumphs. Don’t miss this chance for networking and career growth! Check out the details below! 👇
