Hi Richard, my company is interested in doing some research on reducing the
use of insecticides on our crops. As part of our work, we're interested in
hiring 1-3 entomologists to work in a lab setting (work consisting of
applied behavioral assays) in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Would you be able to direct us to any of your current or former students?

Congrats on all the groundbreaking work you all have led on!

Josh
