Description: The Barrett Lab is revolutionizing our understanding of insects’ senses and experiences, providing empirically-supported tools and knowledge to farmers and researchers.
The Barrett Lab is breaking new ground in our understanding of insects’ senses and experiences through interdisciplinary collaborations and the application of principles from neuroscience, physiology, and behavior.
Insect welfare is an emerging field of study; the data we generate directly inform best practices and policies for animal users/producers and other stakeholders. Through our research and practice, we aim to understand and improve the ethical use of insects wherever they are managed.
Trillions of insect livestock are farmed for food, feed, silk, dyes, pollination services, honey, shellac, species control applications, and more each year.
