Jonathan Lelito (USDA APHIS PPQ) also describes the emerging national biological control program currently being undertaken by USDA APHIS.  ASETS researchers are currently funded to work on aspects of both the management of ash mortality and the biological control of this forest pest. Visit our project profiles of both SLAM (Slowing Ash Mortality) and MapBioControl.

This video was produced by the MSU Knight Center for Environmental Journalism.

They are not currently working on emerald ash borer, but they seem to have a future in outreach communications.

Cook Arthropod Research Collection was interviewed by Tucker Carlson of Fox News regarding recent NSF funding for improvements to the arthropod research collection.

Even though their aim was to cast this funding in a negative light – Anthony enlightens Mr. Carlson and Fox viewers as to the importance of a collection such as this and the scientific role it plays.
