Great collaborative effort between @ValentinoGantz, @ArthropodGen, @XuechunFeng_ and @AlpheyLab to demonstrate gene drive in a culex mosquito.
CRISPR-based Gene Drive in Culex quinquefasciatus is out on @biorxivpreprint! Great work by @XuechunFeng_ & Tim Harvey-Samuel et al. in a great collaboration with the @AlpheyLab.

Saying goodbye to Lewis - it's been a pleasure to have you as part of the team for the past few years. Chocolate cake makes even a sad goodbye a little bit sweeter - especially if it's an educational cake and has the title page of our latest publication on it.
