BS Entomology and Plant Pathology, MS Medical Entomology Univ. Delaware,

Add to that an Ecological Innovator, Urban Agriculturalist and farmer, Teacher, Philosopher, Painter and Poet. Interests: Human and Animal Diseases, Archeology, Ethology, Bioethics and lots of other things. Always a student.

I Like to think of myself as a Scientific Ecological Rationalist (an “SER”), but now am a gardener and blogger called the Entomological Philosopher hoping the world will turn around some more before being engulfed by our expected-to be-exploding sun.
