In many professions, certification is de rigeur. Historically that has not always been the case in the life sciences, but that appears to be a changing phenomenon.
Insects outnumber humans more than 1.6 billion to one. They are one of the most plentiful and successful life forms on the planet and they are the cornerstone of our ability to survive on earth. Consider the number of crops that require insect interaction for pollination, the life forms that use them as a food source, the knowledge we have gained from studying their DNA, and so on.
Insects are the root of all life on earth.
Those who study insects are called entomologists. Within the field there are many ways that a person can specialize their training. Some study insects’ impact on crop yields, some study the medical impact they have on humans and other animals, and still others focus on ways to limit the damaging influence that insects can have on the population.
Probest has distinguished itself from other companies by keeping an Associate Certified Entomologist (A.C.E.) on staff.
