From Leaf Miners to Burying Beetles

In this episode, we continue the conversation with UAMN Curator of Insects, Derek Sikes and UAMN Entomology Collections Manager, Jess Rykken, from the full episode, Of the Ants and the Bees. And we cover so many topics including some of the research efforts at UAF, student work, entomology in exhibits, plans for the summer, and posting in iNaturalist.

The More You Look is a production of the UA Museum of the North, on the campus of the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the ancestral lands of the Dena people of the lower Tanana River. UAMN illuminates the natural history and cultural heritage of Alaska and the North through collections, research, education, and partnerships, and by creating a singular museum experience that honors diverse knowledge and respect for the land and its peoples.
