Termite Science, Secrets & Surprises – Featuring Dr. Johnalyn Gordon (and a Special Guest!)

What does it take to culture over 1,000 termite colonies… and why would you want to?

In this fascinating episode, we sit down with Assistant Professor Johnalyn Gordon from the University of Florida Termite Research Center for an exclusive sneak peek into her upcoming presentations for the Termite Professional Seminar Series.

From cutting-edge research to real-world applications, Johnalyn shares insights that every pest professional (and curious mind) will want to hear.

But that’s not all…

In a surprise twist, Associate Professor Thomas Chouvenc joins the conversation, giving us an inside look at the groundbreaking work coming out of arguably the world’s leading termite research facility.

Together, we dive into:

  • ​The origins and evolution of their globally recognised research centre
  • ​What it really takes to manage and maintain a collection of over 25 million termites under one roof
  • ​The latest research shaping the future of termite management
