<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black">Allen Cohen is offering what looks like a very good couple of courses course in a virtual format. If you don't know Allen he was an ARS scientist and had a long career studying insect feeding and
rearing and then after retired went to North Carolina State University to develop an insect rearing program. APHIS has sponsored a lot of work by Allen and his students to work on diet development but his expertise goes well beyond artificial diets and nutrition
and I think this course could be helpful for our work rearing insects on plants as well and natural enemy rearing systems. At 250 a course, it looks like a bargain to me then of course there is his new CRC book.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;color:black">As I promised, I am letting you know about the arrangements for my 3 new synchronous courses in insect rearing. The information is in the attached PDF. I have tried to make adjustments according
to input that I have gotten, and I will continue to be flexible with various ways of making rearing education more available and useful to the rearing community. I hope that you will notice that I have tried to make the times of the classes as convenient as
possible, and I feel that the format of having two 2.5 hour meetings per week meets learning needs and attention span realities. I have also tried to make the cost of each class within a reasonable budget framework. I am most excited about the potential for
close interactions that the Zoom and Moodle formats allow.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
