15 April 2024

This week we're joined by Dr. Emily Bick, Assistant Professor of entomology at University of Wisconsin-Madison. In this episode, Monique brings us some brief entomology updates, and then talks with Emily about the insect eavesdropper technology her lab is developing. Kerik gives us his disease forecast for the week, and Anna reports her State of the State phenological and pest updates from around the state.

Segments recorded April 13 (Kerik), April 15 (Monique) and April 16 (Anna), and published April 16.
