Fantastic pre-viva talk by @IssaMshani1 today on his PhD work "Screening of Malaria Infections Using AI-Powered Infrared Spectroscopy"
An impressive breadth and depth, spanning epidemiology to parasitology, physical chemistry to computing science.

Exciting news from @MeshachLee17 who collected mosquitoes in his #MosquitoMagnet for the first time this season. He has been getting mosquitoes in BGnPro traps for months now, but first appearance in this trap suggests different species may be coming out - we wll find out!
Over the last year we've found 1000s of mosquitoes all over Scotland thanks to incredible work of this *dream team* of entomologists (L-R) Dr Georgia Kirby, @MeshachLee17 & @REBrown552. Looking forward to what they'll find this summer about risk of mosquito-borne disease in 🏴
Great to see team member @MeshachLee17 talking about his research on mosquitos around Glasgow on BBC Scotland Evening News last night.

Our Early Career EDI Group and Diversity & Inclusion Committee hosted a great film night to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth 📽️🥘
Thanks to all who helped, particularly @ic_uribarri and to @MeshachLee17 , who gave a moving speech on his experience as @uofgjmsphd scholar @UofGlasgow
Milestone for @MosquitoScot team today as @MeshachLee17 & Alanna MacCallum suceeded in setting up the "Mosquito Magnet" trap for the first time! Its like Christmas Eve waiting if we will get any mosquito presents in it tomorrow....@VectorsGlasgow
Fantastic day yesterday with @MeshachLee17 and Dr Georgia Kirby setting up host seeking and gravid traps to explore biting insect composition along an urban-rural gradient for Mesh's PhD work @MosquitoScot @UofG_SBOHVM @VectorsGlasgow
