In today's episode, I had the pleasure to speak with Dr. Brendan Shannon, a PhD student at Ohio State University and an expert on pesticides and adjuvants. Dr. Shannon's work has been crucial in understanding the impact of these chemicals on the health of honeybees. His most recent work is a review article about adjuvants and their effects. In this interview, recorded live with members of my academy, we discuss the pros and cons of pesticide and adjuvant combinations, the surprising ways researchers and farmers are using this knowledge to mitigate negative impacts on honeybees, and other topics.
