In this episode, Alyssa, a MSU sophomore, chatted with Dr. Andrea Glassmire, an Assistant Professor of Chemical Ecology at Michigan State University. Andrea’s work spans a broad variety of topics, including community ecology, plant chemistry, experimental design, and statistics. Her research aims to better understand insect pest management and biological invasions by exploring how plant trait diversity affects interactions between plants, insects, and soil microbes.You can learn more about the work being done in her research program <a href='https://aglassmire.com/'>here!</a>You can follow Bug Talk on Instagram and Twitter @bugtalkpodcast, and YouTube @bugtalk6645

In this episode, we chatted with Dr. Eric Benbow, a professor of aquatic and decomposition ecology at Michigan State University. His work highlights the broad applications of entomology, with a primary focus on how insects and microbes interact with each other across a variety of settings. More specifically in the ways diseases spread, decomposition, and even the ways that insects can be used as food and livestock feed in Africa!

This podcast is created by the Department of Entomology at Michigan State University. Its hosted by multiple co-hosts and its goal is to introduce the person behind the scientist. You will hear conversations with entomologists and scientists to learn more about their lives, what inspires them and what interests them outside of work. Follow the podcast on Twitter or Instagram @bugtalkpodcast. You can direct message us on Twitter if you'd like to reach out to us.
