Hey entoids,

We are meeting to help one of our own, Karly Regan, to improve a manuscript for publication.

We will be meeting tomorrow morning at 10:30 am in ASI 505. Please bring ideas for restructuring and making it more exciting (wording issues probably won't be as helpful at this stage).

We are not sharing Karly's manuscript here since it is unpublished work. Please feel free to PM your e-mail address if you'd like to see the manuscript and give mindful feedback to Karly.

See you tomorrow!

These butterflies are bilateral gynandromorphs - they're literally half male and half female.
