R.E.M. star Michael Stipe has helped a top German entomologist and a research associate at Yale University name a new ant species.
Strumigenys ayersthey is named after Charles Ayers, the artist and political activist who was part of Andy Warhol s fabled circle of friends and stars. The name uses the suffix they , rather than a gendered Latin suffix, to celebrate gender diversity. Entomologist Phillip Hoenle discovered the ant in the rainforest in Ecuador and sent a specimen to Douglas B. Booher, a research associate in the Yale Center for Biodiversity and Global Change and the Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, to confirm if it really was a new species.

After more than three decades in the thick of Richmond’s engineering scene, John Dunlap is passing the baton of the 16-year-old firm that bears his name. But he’s not folding up his drafting table just yet.
The founder of Dunlap & Partners Engineers is handing the reins over to a new generation as the firm enters its next iteration as a division of Salas O’Brien, a California-based construction engineering firm that acquired it in December.

The 69-year-old Dunlap is not retiring, however, instead staying on in an advisory role while continuing to practice his craft.
