- W2434871286 abstract "Frank Tomas “Tom” Turpin is a professor of entomology at Purdue University—where he has been a faculty member for 45 years—and a Cooperative Extension Service entomologist. A popular speaker, he gives presentations on a variety of entomological and agricultural subjects to audiences of all ages.
