A brief #Introduction or actually, re-introduction post.

I'm Sarah. I'm an entomologist. I work at Niab in the UK, studying insects important in fruit crop production. This includes #Pollinators like bees and hoverflies, as well as natural enemies of pests, and the pests themselves.

Most of my work is on UK crops like #Apples and #Strawberries but I also have an area of work on entomology in #Cocoa (there are a lot of parallels with orchards really!).

I'm always happy to infodump enthusiastically about #SolitaryBees, #Forcipomyia, #Cacao cultivation, #Strawberry varieties, and also about hamsters.
