Hi Everyone around the world in the Insect Tribe this is Emmet Brady again with an episode of The Insect News Network where I feature The People Behind the Culture Behind the Bugs. My interview is with one of the pioneers in Cultural Entomology and a world-renown advocate for future global food security via Entomophagy (that insect cuisine) - Florence Dunkel. Prof of Entomology at Montana State University. In the interview she explains a pioneering perspective on the human-insect connection where the language, the music and the culture of local communities are used as tools to educate people bridge the gap in their understanding of bugs - much to their betterment. It's not just about music about bugs - it's music AND bugs.
