Also we are on bluesky. Please follow us there @reecelab.bsky.social

We have a new paper investigating how mosquito nutrition affects malaria development.

Our findings suggest malaria parasites may actively adjust oocyst growth rate to best exploit nutritional resources.

@ab1nay @UofGSii @The_MRC Abhinay, that's awesome news! Huge congratulations. We'll have to come over and visit you soon.

Another day, another batch of mosquito gut dissections. Look at those beautiful malaria oocysts (P. chabaudi) and i'm not sure but is that melanization too?

Today is world malaria day. Check out our website https://t.co/gOcreIeKpH to see how we use malaria as a model for studying ecology and evolution. We would also like to highlight the great work by @womeninmalaria and @SPPIRITnetwork for their help in fostering communities.

Congratulations Mrs. Pirie (Meldrum School): you are the lucky winner of the #ReeceLabOnTour Science Week Competition! The handheld microscopes will be coming your way after the Easter Break. @scotpenetwork @RaiseScotland @MeldrumSchool

It's always lovely to get post from the primary pupils participating in "Reece Lab On Tour"! Thanks so much for the amazing letters and drawings Lanark Primary, we hope you all had a lovely time. #ReeceLabOnTour @RaiseScotland @LanarkPrimary @scotpenetwork

I'm really proud of this one. New paper out, "Machine learning reveals singing rhythms of male Pacific field crickets are clock controlled". https://t.co/RTYgE82VwX

[The Reece Lab @ReeceLab]

🚨New paper alert 🚨From her time in our lab, the amazing @evolutiomary demonstrates that the calling behaviour of male Pacific field cricket is a circadian trait and therefore could be a target for natural selection imposed by a parasitoid fly. So cool!

Today in class we were all very lucky to capture a mosquito emerging from pupa form! So cool! https://t.co/lmUYPQf2x3 #ReeceLabOnTour

🚨 New paper alert 🚨 Here we (@CatherineEOke) test a non-destructive method to detect sporozoites from individual infected mosquitoes on sugar-feeding substrates. https://t.co/GViY0IrwQ9

We've had a really fun time teaching Japanese pupils Parasitology with @MalariaUnit. Two classes so far and both have been so much fun. #ReecelabOnTour

Waiting for the ferry to our new home for two weeks, Matsuyama! The Reece Lab is most definitely on tour! #Reecelabontour

@hanniepower Thank you, we are over the moon! :)

[The Reece Lab @ReeceLab]

Our lab now gets a well deserved rest for our brains. :) what a great meeting

#ItsAboutTime

[The Reece Lab @ReeceLab]

Attending a Royal Society meeting on biological rhythms in infection.
After an introduction from Rachel Edgar, John O'Neill starts the session by giving us the 101 on oscillators. #ItsAboutTime

[The Reece Lab @ReeceLab]

And finally we finish up the day with a talk from Antony Dodd showing us how circadian rhythms are going to help us save the planet. #ItsAboutTime
