We are a mischievous group of people trying to help the East Tennessee Community. We approach the project as a team and as such each contribute something special to the project including Entomology (Becky & Corey), GIS (Michael & Brian), Science Communication (Julie & Shelli), and Education (Josh, Elizabeth, & Jennifer).
