^its the first line in the article..
If you read it lol
(But I LOVE franco so I'm ok with the gif ;) )

As in, most people try to exterminate ants, yet they're are on-board with saving the bees.

@stopspazzing. Man that guy has done so much for ant husbandry and keeping, along with discovering what they don't like lmao
What knowledge he must have, I would go if it wasn't so far away!!

Couldn't agree with you more. Would love to ask a million of questions. I can't go since have a HUGE IT project at work I'm apart of. Wonder if there will be video or highlights? Is anyone going?

The article says, "Can't make it out to Oakland? Never fear! Episodes will be posted to Ars Technica the week after the live events (watch past events here)." I'm just gonna watch the video.
