Like the rest of the myrmeconet, we were thrilled to hear some great news earlier this week:

AntCourse is exactly what it sounds like: heaven in educational form. It went on brief hiatus, but now it’s back! Not only do participants learn loads of thrilling content about ant taxonomy, morphology, and phylogenetics, but a significant component of the course is hands-on field collections and specimen processing. Our editor-in-chief attended a previous AntCourse, and reports that for anyone who identifies as formicid-forward, experiencing this ode to the ant is an absolute must.

This year, there are only 17 spots, so apply today!
