Ele Willoughby, PhDPollinator Week is a great time to share this print, which expresses the central theme of my work about the Future of Pollination for Manufactured Ecosystems. Our food sources & ecosystems around us are dependent on pollinators (mostly bees & other insects, some birds & mammals) but insects populations have lost huge numbers and many species altogether.🧵<a href="https://spore.social/tags/PollinatorWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PollinatorWeek</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/nativeBees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nativeBees</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/entomology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#entomology</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ecology</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/sciart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sciart</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#insects</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/butterflies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#butterflies</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/beetles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#beetles</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/moths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#moths</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/printmaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#printmaking</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/linocut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linocut</a> <a href="https://spore.social/tags/ManufacturedEcosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ManufacturedEcosystems</a>
