Hey Askers!

We wanted to give y’all some more details about what’s going on behind the scenes.

We are three scientists who answer your questions for free, and we’ve got a lot going on behind the scenes. Joe and Joanie are at the part of their PhD programs where we’re searching for jobs. In order to do that, we need to write a new resume for each position as well as a unique cover letter. That’s the equivalent of several blog posts per week, on top of doing research. Needless to say, we’re not really in a position to do much writing at the moment.

Nancy runs a successful tourism business doing insect-based ecotours, and business has picked up in recent months because pandemic restrictions have lifted all across the world.

Needless to say, we’re all still dedicated to AaE, and we’re doing what we can, but things are really busy for all of us.

There are some big changes which will be happening, but we don’t know what form the new process will take. Please be patient while we figure all of this out.

In the meantime, we’ve got a pretty big announcement: We’re adding a new writer!

They’ll introduce themselves soon, so stay tuned to meet the newest member of our fantastic team!
