New DMNS Science Bite posted
Bed Bugs are surging in the United States. Denver is one of the
cities most affected by recent outbreaks of these blood-sucking
insects. DMNS has produced a short video about the problem, the
first Science Bite this year. Some more information about the problem can be found in
the June/July number of the Museum magazine Catalyst.
