Today at #Ifakara, we spent two inspiring hours with Prof. Graham White, where experience met curiosity. Time travelled from 1960s East African malaria control (Zanzibar, Pare-Taveta, DDT) to the story of 𝘈𝘯𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘸𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘦.

Lies whisper their way to power, swift and bold, yet truth waits patiently, calm and untold. It’s easy to fool a heart eager to believe the lies, but those who chase shadows lose sight of what’s real beneath.

@IssaMshani1 @HoyceTemu 😂😂😂 very important

[Ambassador Hoyce Temu, PhD @HoyceTemu]

Aliyenipiga hii picha Mungu anamuona😢 🙌🏽. Sijui hata viatu niliacha wapi😅! Jokes aside, Kampeni zina vipengele vingi sana. Nikiwa na Katibu Mkuu Wizara ya Afya kaka yangu Shekilage kuishona speech 🎤 ya shukrani ya Mgombea wetu. #janabiisthewhoafrordelect

[Ambassador Hoyce Temu, PhD @HoyceTemu]

Hii yote ni Diplomasia kubwa sana ya Mheshimiwa Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania Dr @SuluhuSamia kwa kuendelea kutuongoza na kuifungua nchi Kimataifa. Diplomasia hii ni ya hali ya juu. Pia nimshukuru Mwenyekiti wa Kampeni Rais mstaafu Rais @jmkikwete kwa kuitendea kampeni hii haki! Tulisafiri Naye nchi nyingi, tumejifunza mbinu kubwa za kidiplomasia na ninaandika kitabu cha Diplomasia… Nchi yetu ina wanadiplomasia. Hongera Tanzania 🇹🇿

[Issa Mshani @IssaMshani1]

Hongera sana kwake and congratulations to everyone involved. Pongezi za dhati pia kwa balozi wetu @HoyceTemu, hakika amefanya kazi nzuri sana. Nilikutegemea inbox mapema tu 😂😂😂.

Day 2 Highlights
Hands-on modeling of ecological data using non-Gaussian distributions — focusing on generalised linear models - (binomial & Poisson): Covered model fitting, selection (AIC, drop1(), LRT), and diagnosis & addressing overdispersion. Then predictions #GLMM #RStats

[Muyaga Letus @MuyagaL]

Final Day:
An insightful talk by Dr. @halfan30 on why random effects matter in ecological data analysis using GLMMs. 🦟 We wrapped up with a practical session and certificate awards to participants and facilitators. Big thanks to @AMMnetwork for funding. #DataScience #malaria

🦟MALARIA FIGHT:
Scientists now target mosquito reproductive traits ⚔️

Can mosquito mating habits help us fight malaria? 🤔 New research in Tanzania led by @ifakarahealth and partners shows how age and artificial red light influence mosquito reproduction - findings that could help develop smarter vector control strategies like sterile insect techniques and genetic-based approaches. 🔬🧬

This breakthrough marks a major step in the fight against malaria! 🌍💪
