Insects in Pop Culture
Written By Bálint
Today we have Dr. Greg Pask, a professor at Middlebury College who holds his Ph.D in Biological Sciences from Vanderbilt University. As the head of the Pask Lab, Greg studies a number of different insect species including, but not limited to, ants, butterflies, and fireflies. Greg participates in a great deal of science communication doing work with Cosplay For Science, and presentations at Comic Cons around the country discussing insects in popular culture.
