Dr Dewey M. Caron is Emeritus Professor of Entomology & Wildlife Ecology, Univ of Delaware, & Affiliate Professor and Content/Communications Specialist, OR Master Beekeeper program, Dept Horticulture, Oregon State University. With retirement from Univ of Delaware in 2009 I moved to Portland, OR to be closer to grandkids. In retirement I remain active in bee education. I have worked in the Americas to teach how to beekeep with defensive Africanized bees since 1981.

Dr. Basu is joining us on Saturday!
Dr. Priya Chakrabarti Basu is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Entomology, Washington State University. Priya is also a courtesy faculty at Oregon State University. Priya studies the interactive impacts of multiple stressors on bees, for example poor nutrition, pesticides, climate change and diseases. She uses a wide array of multidisciplinary techniques across fields such as physiology, toxicology, functional biology, multiomics-based approaches and neuroethology to address her research questions. Priya enjoys teaching and working with stakeholders, policymakers and the general community in protecting bee pollinators and raising pollinator awareness. Priya is also a children’s book author to help spread pollinator awareness among young readers. More information about her lab’s research can be found at: www.priyadarshinichakrabarti.com.
