In episode twenty-three of the Awesome Awful Podcast, presented by the Daily Drunk, host Josh Sippie welcomes Darren Incorvaia. They discuss the blood-sucking monster class, Mosquito. Specific points of discussion include how to tell the difference between a giant mosquito proboscis and the tickle of a lover, when it is and isn't appropriate to collect dead things, when you admit that you're overwhelmed and call the army, and what happens when you hand a chainsaw to Leatherface. Also, if you're planning any escapes that are reliant on a dumbwaiter, we would recommend against it.   Check out the Daily Drunk on Twitter: https://twitter.com/dailydrunkmag And Darren Incorvaia: https://twitter.com/MegaDarren Darren's website: https://dcincorvaia.weebly.com/writing.html The article Darren mentions about honey: https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/honeys-eternal-shelf-life-explained If you want to join us on the Pod, go here: https://docs.google.com/forms/u/2/d/1w6PV_neE-oiU2F0XfXJyUe1KxxwG_hZ-8aht4vgczSE/edit?ts=60c8d970 And Josh is on Twitter too! https://twitter.com/sippenator101 And give the pod a five star on Apple Podcasts!

Mosquito, with Darren Incorvaia

On this week’s The Sci-Files, your co-hosts Chelsie and Danny interview Darren Incorvaia about his research on bees, here at the Michigan State University. Darren is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Integrative Biology.Social insects, such as bees, require many resources in order to build and maintain a nest, produce and nourish workers, and reproduce. To ensure the colony forages effectively, social insects have numerous communication strategies including the dance language of honeybees and odor trails of ants. Since bumblebees face similar selective pressures and do not have a dance language or odor trails, how do they ensure that they are exploiting the best possible resources? Darren’s research focuses on this. Through both field experiments and an agent-based computer model, Darren hopes to show that bumblebees use social information in the nest to inform their individual foraging decisions.For more information on the MSU Bug House, click here.If you’re interested in talking about your MSU research on the radio or nominating a student, please email Chelsie and Danny at scifiles@impact89fm.org.
