This Week in Jobs DMV: The Love Buzz Edition

Editor’s note: Every week we ship an email newsletter featuring the region’s most exciting career opportunities. We’ve lovingly called it This Week in Jobs (aka TWIJ — “twidge.”). Below is this week’s edition; it’s meant to live in your inbox. Sign up for the newsletter here.

“Living in my own little world / Underground ’til I found you girl”

Local entomologist Samuel Ramsey, also known as “Dr. Sammy,” has a new single. The scientist, who grew up in D.C., recorded and posted “Big Red Eyes” to demystify — and share his appreciation — for the Brood X cicadas that emerged this year.

“I feel like I’m a bug ambassador,” Ramsey told The Washington Post. “At the end of the day, the way I think of it is bug PR. These insects have not had good public relations at all.”

Talk about good buzz — onto the jobs!
