Abstract
I proposed that my master’s Project would be outreach on Entomology at four levels: School aged children, laymen, non-entomologists in a technical field, and entomologists. The idea here is basically how to talk about entomology to varying levels of expertise, from first graders to experts in both entomology and occupational health and safety. Presentations were given to audiences at each of the four levels. The specific topics varied for each audience. The determination was made by the inviting audience in the cases of school aged children and adult laymen and by me in the cases of Occupational Safety and Health professionals and professional entomologists. Additionally, two of the presentations in this project shed light on an aspect of occupational safety and health that results in as many as ten fatalities and thousands of injuries each year in American workplaces. The value of this project was to gauge reactions and responses to information on entomology presented to audiences typically not dealing with this subject. Or in the case of entomologists, an aspect of entomology that they had previously not considered.
