In this Halloween edition, Kacie speaks with Dr. Brett Blaauw, a peach entomologist at the University of Georgia. Dr. Blaauw shares strategies for engaging diverse audiences about insects from engaging kids with fun facts about dung beetles to helping adults appreciate pollinators through their connection to coffee and chocolate. They discuss agricultural extension methods including on-farm research, conferences, and apps. The conversation highlights the critical role of beneficial insects, especially parasitoid wasps, in natural pest control.
