Bug Squad

This is a success story about a former animal biology student, two professors, her practicum and its publication in a prestigious journal.

If you attended the Entomological Society of America's Entomology Games, aka "Bug Bowl," pitting university teams against one another in the pursuit of entomological knowledge, you saw the faces of the national championship team.

Usually when you say "I was framed," it's because someone has accused you of something you didn't do. With the Entomological Society of America (ESA), however, being framed is a good thing.

You won't want to miss this. When two talented entomologists/artists from the University of California, Davis, collaborate and teach classes, you'll want to see the work that their students create. And you can do just that from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov.

It's Thanksgiving Day, and as we sit down with family and friends to count our blessings, let's thank the bees.
