Interested in how #decomposition occurs in the desert? That's exactly what we're investigating, and those predictable insect succession patterns are looking a bit less predictable. #forensicentomology research 💜 I've got an amazing team of undergraduates here at New College at West Valley campus

Does it get any easier watching your students graduate? I'm proud and excited for them, but I'm really sad at the same time. The research student who has been with me the longest (since I joined ASU) graduated today. (Them =maggots 😅) #happyandsad

Love being able to hear about the accomplishments of my graduate school cohort. 💜 #entomologists

Did we spend 45 minutes yesterday breaking cow dung into pieces? Yes we did. Worth it? 💯 How's your week going?😅 #dungbeetles #entomology #collectingtrip

Big thank you to Jeff Tomberlin and Jonathan Cammack for teaching us (Tessa Jung ) about #BSF rearing and maintenance. Love the possibility of reducing #foodwaste and increasing #sustainable practices.

If you teach a #forensicentomology course, check out our key to forensically relevant beetle families that just came out! Gareth Powell 🙂 jfse-ojs-tamu.tdl.org/jfse/index.php…

We're about one month out from our summer decomposition project! Can't wait to see insect succession at a dry 105°F 🌞 We were already sweating in April. Thanks American Academy of Forensic Sciences for the support!

SO proud of my team!

1st undergraduate 1st author paper to come out of the lab! SO proud.

Hey- you’re not who I was expecting. How many #parasitoidwasps can fit into one #fleshflypupa ? Any guesses?

New College at West Valley campus and #PurdueAg are co-hosting the inaugural Cold Case Symposium on Sept. 23 to support families facing America’s cold case crisis during #ForensicScienceWeek. Register to attend virtually or on ASU’s campus na.eventscloud.com/coldcase22

Second #ESAPB in the books! Proud lab mama right here. New College at West Valley campus ASU School of Mathematical & Natural Sciences

Best thing about #forensicentomology - you can apply it anywhere and traps don’t need to be expensive! #blowflies #fleshflies

My students continue to impress me ✨#NCUIRE #forensicentomology #fewl ASU School of Mathematical & Natural Sciences New College at West Valley campus

So proud of the lab! Surveys and baseline information are KEY to utilizing insects in casework.

😢 Over 20 animals are being removed from the endangered species list because they are now extinct, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced. abc15.com/21-species-rem…

I feel like I did something right when my students who have graduated come back to help out with research for fun.

Did I have my lab (four 20+ year olds) complete the not so junior ranger packet & pledge with me? You know it 😅 @ameeds11 Barry Cromer III #orpi #fewl

Gearing up for one of our bigger research projects this upcoming spring! Can’t wait to start this one with help from @ameeds11 Powell Insect Evolution Lab and a few others🪲🐜#wildlifeforensics
