I believe every MLB team should have an entomologist on staff and please see my attached CV, thank you

Matt Hilton works for Blue Sky Pest Control. Last night, he was at his son's tee ball game when he got called to remove some bees—a massive swarm delaying Dodgers-Dbacks. A few hours later, he was throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at an MLB game.

Why are there so many beetle species? And what can their symbionts tell us about how they adapt and diversify? Loved chatting with @ljevanso and @HassanSalem about our work for @KnowableMag. Come for the beetles, stay for their wonderful symbioses. 🪲🦠🍄knowablemagazine.org/content…

Wow, this is amazing!! A new species of rove beetle with physogastry adaptation that looks like a termite larva/nymph. 🤯This beetle has developed a completely distended abdomen that looks like a termite to hide among termites! Just incredible. Austrospirachtha carrijoi sp. nov., – at Uppsala, Sverige

Little late posting and low on pictures, but I successfully defended my dissertation last week! Maybe it takes this long to sink in. Thanks to my committee (Debbie Finke, Bruce Hibbard, Aaron Ericsson, Kent Shelby {none of whom have Twitter}) for all the support #PhDone

Grateful for all my lab mates, friends, and family for their support as well. I couldn’t have done this alone.
