When Samuel Ramsey was a child, he was afraid of bugs. But a trip
to the library with his mother changed everything and led him to
become a bee entomologist. He grew up gay in a non-affirming
religious community, he was the only Black entomologist in his
Doctoral program, and today he’s both a Christian AND a scientist
in a world that often asks him to choose between his faith and his
practice. But Dr. Buggs (his media nickname) recently made a
breakthrough discovery in the fight against one of the biggest
global pandemics in history: the Varroa Destructor; a mite
that is threatening bee colonies all over the world. And with them,
our very future on the planet. Follow Dr. Samuel Ramsey aka Dr.
Sammy Buggs on
his website, Instagram, or YouTube. Thanks for
