Abstract

In this talk, I wish to make the point that, while on the one hand, there is a great deal of effort to study Entomology in its classical sense including taxonomy, biodiversity, pests and pest management, on the other hand, there are many groups conducting state of the art research on various aspects of genetics, development, physiology, molecular biology and evolution. However, these two sets of researchers are disconnected in many different ways. While this may also be somewhat true for other parts of the world, we in India would like to think about fostering deeper and meaningful connections between these disparate research communities. Effective science communication would play an obvious role in any such effort.
