Two years ago, as president of the Eastern Branch of the Entomological Society of America, Bill initiated the development of a field-oriented, informal meeting of students and professional entomologists that we call "EntoQuest." Over a weekend in September, 2022 at a 4-H camp in Virginia we met to collect insects, hold workshops, and discuss our research and interests in entomology. To describe the meeting broadly to members of the ESA, Helen Craig, our lab manager, and Bill, with a colleague at Virginia Tech (Kelly McIntyre), wrote a short article in American Entomologist about its development and how it provides members with a new way to learn about entomology as a profession. See the article attached. It includes a link at the end of a video of EntoQuest 2022. Also see the photo of 7 attendees from University of Maryland. We will hold EntoQuest 2023 at a camp near Lewes, Delaware on 15-17 September this fall. Registration opens soon!
