Have you ever wondered how mosquitoes find you over long distances and why they bite you more than other people? Check out our recent work published in @CurrentBiology led by @dags263 & @stephrankin2 in collaboration with the Macha Research Trust, Zambia. https://t.co/cy66xEJFGP

What can we learn from the way spiders build their webs? 🕸️ Andrew Gordus's lab, @elegansdiversus, studies spiders to understand how their simple brains manage behavior, offering insights into brain function. https://t.co/JnK0KFI7nw

Deeply honoured to have been elected a Vallee Scholar. Very grateful for the fantastic support of @TheCrick and to the amazing people in my lab. Excited for the journey ahead and what @TheValleeFdn will help us discover!

We are coming for you malaria!

Just in time for #WorldMosquitoDay ! Check out our new preprint led by Diego Giraldo @dags263 and Drew Hammond @DrewMarcHammond building a genetic toolkit to decode the sense of smell in the African malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae. https://t.co/MEILFfyPxX

Happy to share our work on octopamine's role in modulating malaria mosquito audition in the swarm to facilitate partner detection! Octopamine signalling in the mosquito ear can be targeted by currently available insecticides🧵1/n https://t.co/gXqh6slb2G

Is sex peptide receptor required for Aedes aegypti post-mating behaviors? Check out our new preprint led by Alexandra Amaro @Harrington_lab and Margot Wohl @Brains_n_Bugs. A knockout collaboration with @laurabduvall @Harrington_lab @WolfnerLab https://t.co/8JeIpQWf6i

In an exciting new direction for the lab, we (https://t.co/zeb6oen1oH) teamed up with Cindy Moss (https://t.co/VaTGafBlNb) and Mel Wohlgemuth (https://t.co/5F8parEN06) to bring two-photon imaging to the echolocating bat! Excited to share our preprint about this work (1/13)

[Stephanie Desmon @sdesmon]

This whole concept is just fascinating. Listen to hear what @McMenimanLab and his team did to gather the scents required to determine which scents mosquitoes prefer. It involves hot plates and sleeping volunteers and ... well, you just have to listen.

[Joshman @JoshmanRaji]

Having a great time at #LINO23 learning from many Nobel laureates and networking with other young scientists across the globe. Thanks to @JHMRImalaria and Dr. Peter Agre for sponsoring me to this amazing event.

For as long as there have been humans, there have been mosquitoes buzzing around in hopes of a bite to eat. Here's what scientists say keeps mosquitoes at bay https://t.co/bKahupaZWJ
