In this fun conversation with Dr. Samuel Ramsey, Jen, Natalie and Zsofia asked him about how he came to love insects, his life as a singer / performing artist and his passion for science communication. We mentioned his YouTube channel called Doctor Buggs, his appearance on American Idol and his 3-min thesis summary. Samuel is currently a postdoc at the USDA Bee Lab in Beltsville, MD where he works on Varroa mites - a topic he presented during a department seminar at MSU in Dec. 2020.
