Question: Who cares?


Answer: Everyone!

It's wonderful to come up with interesting research and data, but it is way more awesome to share what we learn at the ALE lab with others who benefit from our work. Extension does just that, and is an important part of the research process. Whether through a pamphlet, a YouTube video, a seminar, or even this blog, extension allows us to give targeted, relevant entomological info to the people who need it most.
Mary is preparing herself to teach an entomology seminar class to graduate students interested in extension, and you can see she is hard at work. The seminar will introduce future researchers to the roles of extension in the community and the different tools they can use to share data with growers, gardeners, children, adults...everyone!
