Input: Seven-year-old Sophia Spencer loves bugs so much she had her hair cut short so it wouldn’t get in the way while she was catching them. She keeps more than a dozen pet grasshoppers in a dinosaur bucket and Mason jar at home. Last year, her favourite bugs were snails, and the year before that she was fascinated with worms and ants.

 After moving from Sarnia to Alexandria, Ont., and switching schools, her obsession with insects set her apart from the other kids and made her the butt of cruel jokes, according to her mom, Nicole. The teasing started on the first day of school. Sophia was carrying a caterpillar around and talking to it, as she’s prone to do, when a girl said: “You’re weird. You shouldn’t be playing with bugs.�? The bullying only got worse, Nicole said. When Sophia brought another caterpillar to show-and-tell, a boy asked to see it after — then stomped on it.

 “Nobody would go near her,�? her mom said.

 She notified Sophia’s teachers and still nothing changed, she said. The bullying had taken such a toll on her daughter’s confidence that she wrote a heartfelt email to the Entomological Society of Canada. She asked the society to arrange a chat between Sophia and an insect specialist, who would encourage her love of bugs. “I want her to know from an expert that she is not weird or strange (what kids call her) for loving bugs and insects,�? Nicole wrote. The email found its way to Morgan Jackson, the society’s social media volunteer and a PhD student in entomology at Guelph University. “I was heartbroken,�? he recalled. “I don’t like hearing about anybody being bullied, especially about something I’m so passionate about.�? (Jackson studies stilt-legged flies, which are native to tropical climes.) 
  
 He posted the email to Twitter, where it grabbed the attention of entomologists from the U.K. to Australia. By Friday afternoon, more than a hundred people had agreed to be her pen pal, said Jackson. Some offered lab tours, equipment and books about bugs. The social media discussion took on a life of its own under the hashtag #BugsR4Girls as entomologists the world over posted words of encouragement and pictures of themselves holding creepy crawlies.

 “I was inspired by brilliant female entomologists & I hope that I can do the same for others,�? tweeted Ashleigh Whifflin, an entomology curatorial assistant at the National Museums of Scotland, along with a picture of what appears to be a green caterpillar. Maggie Hardy, a biochemist at the University of Queensland in Australia, posted pictures of herself milking a tarantula, saying she has “the best job in the world.�? All the supportive messages for Sophia have lifted her spirits and made her feel “famous,�? her mom said. She says she wrote to the entomological society because she wanted her daughter to know she wasn’t alone. “I wanted her to see that it wasn’t just me who thought she was so cool and perfect the way she was,�? she said. These days, Sophia is back to her carefree, bug-catching self, Nicole said. After taking a break from catching bugs after being teased at school, she got back to her hobby and taught her best friend’s little sister the art of hunting critters. Nicole plans to transfer her daughter to a different school where she has friends from the Brownies “who accept her for her buggy ways,�? she said. In a very short conversation with the Star, Sophia said she isn’t ashamed of her passion any more. “I feel very nice and special,�? she said. Correction - September 7, 2016: This article was edited from a previous version that transposed his first and last names. ||||| Sophia Spencer has done more at the age of eight than most of us will do in a lifetime. 
  
 Spencer, who lives in Canada, was one of two authors of a paper published earlier this month in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America. She and Morgan Jackson, an entomologist who works at the University of Guelph Insect Collection in Ontario, wrote about the importance of social media for making science more accessible to the public. 
  
 It all started about a year ago, when Spencer’s mother wrote to the Entomological Society of Canada asking if there was anyone there who might encourage her daughter’s interest in insects. Sophia’s peers at school taunted her when she spent her time playing with bugs, and her mother was worried that it would discourage her daughter from following her passions. 
  
 The hashtag #BugR4girls spread across Twitter after the Entomological Society of Canada used it to crowdsource responses for Spencer. Jackson, who runs the society’s social media accounts, was floored by the attention, according to the Toronto Star. He decided to publish a paper describing how social media platforms like Twitter can draw attention to entomology, and asked Spencer to be a co-author. 
  
 In the paper, Jackson meticulously analyzes the engagement the society got from its initial tweet, and discusses other online conversations that tweet started, including around the inclusion of more women in STEM, and how scientists can talk about their work with a lay audience. Spencer’s contribution outlines her experience with the entomologists who reached out to her. She writes: 
  
 My favorite bugs are snails, slugs, and caterpillars, but my favorite one of all is grasshoppers. Last year in the fall I had a best bug friend and his name was Hoppers. When I first found Hoppers, I was kind of scared because that was the first time I held a grasshopper. When I grabbed him, he peed on me, and I thought he had bit me and that was my blood, so I flinged him and he landed somewhere on the stairs, but I found him and I was still a little bit scared, but I realized the he still liked me, like that was just a way to see if I was going to hurt him! I’d find him on the porch, or on the roof of my bug cage, or the side and it’d be really funny. And then I’d give him a little drop of water, which was really cool. I really like being a bug expert, but a lot of kids at school, they’re killing grasshoppers, especially the big kids at my old school… It felt good to have so many people support me, and it was cool to see other girls and grown-ups studying bugs. It made me feel like I could do it too, and I definitely, definitely, definitely want to study bugs when I grow up, probably grasshoppers…If somebody said bugs weren’t for girls, I would be really mad at them… I think anything can be for anybody, including bugs. 
  
 She also says that kids at school have changed their opinion about her. They now think she’s cool, and want to share her microscope to look at bugs up close. Spencer also reported getting recognized while she’s out and about, which makes her feel good “even if [she’s] not supposed to talk to them because they’re strangers.” 
  
 Spencer’s story is emblematic of how Twitter has enabled scientists to reach outside their academic circles. Last year, Quartz wrote about Nancy Miorelli, an entomologist currently working in the Ecuadorian Cloud forest, who uses Twitter to share pictures of herself with huge insects on her face to generate public interest. And then there’s the account @realscientists, which each week has a different researcher answer questions about their field of study. 
  
 Since its publication less than two weeks ago, Spencer and Jackson’s paper has become of the most popular ever published in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America, according to Altmetric. Here’s hoping she’s headed for a long and fulfilling career studying grasshoppers.

Its insights into the use of social media to promote entomology is just one reason a new scientific paper is making headlines. The other is that its co-author is an 8-year-old girl. Sophia Spencer of Canada has long loved creepy-crawlies, especially carrying them around on her shoulder, but her venture into the formal study of insects only began last year. That's when Sophia’s mom sent a letter to the Entomological Society of Canada sharing how Sophia was bullied for her love of bugs and requesting answers to her many questions about how to turn that love into a career, reports NPR. Morgan Jackson, an entomologist who runs the society's social media accounts, shared the letter on Twitter and was stunned when more than a thousand responses poured in. "I've been that girl, became an entomologist & still proudly wear bugs on my shoulder," read one response, which included a photo proving it to be true, highlighted by the Toronto Star. The outpouring of support gave Jackson an idea. He decided to research how social media can promote women in entomology and asked Sophia to explain her experience, per Quartz. Sophia—who now throws out words like "stridulating"—hopes her byline on the most popular paper ever published in the Annals of the Entomological Society of America will be the first of many to come. "I see myself growing up to become an entomologist," she says. "It was cool to see other girls and grown-ups studying bugs. It made me feel like I could do it, too."
