Meet Marvious Kiwanuka, a PhD student & MTG fellow studying malaria vector dynamics and residual transmission in Uganda. His work uses entomology and molecular analysis to understand mosquito behaviour, resistance, and gaps in control tools, generating evidence to guide stronger malaria interventions.

His advice: Stay curious, persistent, & open to learning.

A treatment called deep brain stimulation (DBS) is used to help some people manage the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. #NIH-funded researchers showed that a personalized, adaptive DBS system significantly reduced Parkinson’s symptoms and improved quality of life compared with standard DBS. https://t.co/6Lx00Qj83t
