We are happy Wilson Valbon is part of #SomosEnto๐ฆ๐. @WValbon is a Research Entomologist at @Bayer4CropsUS. He develops and implements global ecological risk assessment strategies of biotech-derived insect control products ๐ฑfor non-target organisms ๐๐๐ฆ.
Billions are lost each year due to bacterial infections in crops such as maize and wheat. Now a group led by Sheng-Yang He, Kinya Nomura and @andreazzafelipe identified a key mechanism behind these infections. Even better, they found a way to stop them.

This is a unique moment for me as a scientist: our book on the Sensory Ecology of Disease Vectors has finally been published! It has been a great pleasure to make it happen together with @SharonH31307286 ,@RickardIgnell and @CRLazzari as editors.
New in Hydrobiologia: Mosquito #larvicides disrupt behavior and survival rates of aquatic insect predators https://t.co/7rMvIawVhM https://t.co/qUx3ABQbAz
It's here!! My first first-authored paper (with amazing co-first @margo_herre) exploring the molecular coding of the mosquito olfactory system.
Contributing this kind of sensory neuroscience has always been a dream of mine. Exhausted, but proud!โจ
