Justin O. Schmidt grew up amongst the weeds, wild flowers, and insects of Central Pennsylvania. This experience profoundly affected his interest in and love of insects. High school and college interests in chemistry blended with interests in entomology ultimately steered him toward the chemical ecology and stings/venoms of wasps, ants and bees. His academic career carried him to the four corners of North America: beginning at Penn State for a B.S., then to British Columbia for a Masters, on to Georgia for a Ph.D., to New Brunswick on a postdoc, and finally to Tucson AZ. He currently investigates the biology, medical importance, and impact of bees, wasps, and ants on people and our structures at the Southwestern Biological Institute and University of Arizona. This work has resulted in 195 publications, 20 book chapters and invited reviews, three edited volumes, several hundred scientific presentations, and the 2015 Ig Nobel Prize in Physiology and Entomology. The writing of “The Sting of the Wild” has been wildly fun and I hope readers enjoy the book as much as I did writing it. See https://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/press-kit-sting-wild for videos.
