June 4, 2020. Acadia Bug Project presentation from ESA webinar

​By Allyson Jackson
In June 2020, I was lucky to get to present my work with the Acadia Bug Project as part of an Ecological Society of America webinar "Collaborating with Interpreters to Communicate Science in National Parks". This is just a clip where I'm talking about our Acadia work, but you can find the whole webinar (that included presentations from other researchers and interpreters and a great Q&A discussion) here.
