Episode 6: Join the Club with Kelly

Mar 28

Welcome back! On today’s episode I hang out with Kelly Tims, a fellow PhD student in the Department of Entomology at UGA.

Talking points include Kelly’s work on the ESA-SEB student affairs committee, how a parasitoid wasp uses a virus it got millions of years ago to distract the caterpillar host immune system, the physical toll of grad school, The H.O. Lund Club, graduate school’s lack of fanfare, having community outside of graduate school, and insect larvae that can’t poop.
