The Insect Epiphany
It’s out! Please join me in celebrating the hidden ways in which our insect allies – those glorious ten quintillion neighbors of ours – have shaped human culture across the world and throughout our existence as a species. I tried to squeeze in my favorite insect art, music, literature, dance, biomimetic technology, and insect tales. Featured on Science Friday and in the journal Science!
Available through Timber Press, Bookshop.org, or any of your favorite bibliophilic book emporiums. If you would like a signed copy, feel free to order through my local bookstore, Pearl Street Books (608-782-3424), and I will doodle in it! The gorgeous cover art is by Elizabeth Jean Younce.
Entomologist at the intersection of Science & Art
About me
I revel in insect behavior, sleep biology, and the ways in which insects have affected humans throughout history. I studied entomology at Cornell University and the University of Arizona, received a PhD at the University of Texas at Austin, fabricated natural history exhibits at Chase Studio and the American Museum of Natural History, and joined the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse as a professor of Biology in 2012.
My mother is an artist, my sister a luthier, and my twin brother a maestro of brains and director of the MATTER Lab. My wife Dosha and son Rivyn are wildly creative compadres.
