When Samuel Ramsey was a child, he was afraid of bugs. But a trip to the library with his mother changed everything and led him to become a bee entomologist. He grew up gay in a non-affirming religious community, he was the only Black entomologist in his Doctoral program, and today he’s both a Christian AND a scientist in a world that often asks him to choose between his faith and his practice. But Dr. Buggs (his media nickname) recently made a breakthrough discovery in the fight against one of the biggest global pandemics in history: the Varroa Destructor; a mite that is threatening bee colonies all over the world. And with them, our very future on the planet.Follow Dr. Samuel Ramsey aka Dr. Sammy Buggs on his <a href="https://www.drsammy.online/">website</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drsammygrams/">Instagram, </a>or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCkcKXygyHLtPoYuULl2Enw">YouTube</a>.Thanks for listening to Going Wild.
