The bug world and beyond
Jerome Goddard, Ph.D. writes and speaks across medical entomology, public education, faith and science, and fiction shaped by a lifetime of work with insects, ticks, mosquitoes, and the health questions they raise.
"Welcome to the bug world, or the bug kingdom."
Dr. Goddard's Bug World / Bug Kingdom video series brings medical entomology to a broad audience with short, approachable lessons about insects and other arthropods that affect human health.
The site owned and maintained by Mississippi State University Extension Service keeps that public-education spirit while focusing on his personal books and author work.
