Great speaker. Great topic. Great opportunity.

Glad this is finally out. Using pharmacokinetic modeling we show that #nitisinone, an FDA-approved drug 4 #Tyrosinemia & #Alkaptonuria, kills #Anopheles mosquitoes, outperforming #Ivermectin. Grateful to all primary author’s & fantastic collaborators! https://t.co/GP1PqP5GTp

I have a strong personal and vested interest in this one. Please give it a look! https://t.co/aeH5pQCB4G

Great. But to be clear @NIH @NIAIDNews @NIHDirector turned their collective backs on this globally important resource and now we are left to pick up the pieces by holding bake sales / car washes to keep it live. The precarity of this critical resource is still huge.

pay attention please, all of those who have done functional genomics courses with me and @pamcafrica and @TReNDinAfrica - if you have significant genomics experience then these are a great opportunity for you

Only 5 more days! Every morning I am reminded that ⁦@VectorBase⁩ is going away! ⁦@NIAIDFunding⁩ what were you thinking?!? ⁦This resource is critical to so many research labs. MUVE_ESA⁩ ⁦@ACME_ASTMH⁩

Anopheles #funestus🦟 is a significant #malaria carrier in #Africa. @CharlMQuinn, @TonahN, and I at @LSTMvector, are developing genetic tools to target this species to understand insecticide resistance. https://t.co/qqYW7rmusC #WorldMosquitoDay #EndMalaria @lstmnews

PhD students from IRSS in Burkina Faso have worked with @LSTMnews vector biologists to generate a transgenic mosquito. The partnership, funded by the @gatesfoundation, is designed to build capacity in molecular biology and genetic control of mosquitoes in Burkina Faso.

I was almost a week premature when I announced this previously and the link was broken. It's open now https://t.co/VZWMjh2ddB "Video-tracked Anopheles arabiensis entry and exit behaviour at washed and damaged pyrethroid- treated bednets". I hope you find it useful

“An informed collective effort, combining the benefits of all the strategies we have to offer, will give us the best chance of a malaria-free future.” @nicole_page_vec @LSTMnews tells us about her work on new tools to fight #VBDs such as #malaria ⬇️ https://t.co/8SOcTAGDxg

Are you a current #student studying #insects? Join us at our 2024 #StudentForum on 25-26 March to network and discuss ideas with your peers, consider options for your future #career and share your #research in a welcoming space. https://t.co/kh8mTOZRFX @UniofNewcastle #SF24

Mind blowing! The smallest insects are smaller than amoebae and have neurona without nuclei! #ECE2023

Opportunity for @womeninmalaria from Africa to apply for @ApadrinaCiencia grant to do a research stay of 9-12 months in our Lab at @ipbln_csic in Granada-Spain ✉️Contact me if you're interested 🧐Please read conditions for eligibility👉 https://t.co/1m6ysxcSwR

My first first author paper is out today in @CRISPRjournal! We looked at how well gene drives cope with genetic differences in Anopheles mosquitoes - turns out, much better than expected! If anyone would like more info please get in touch

The new MRes cohort @LSTMnews. Future leaders in infectious disease research and tropical health.

Rejoining EU Horizon is only half the job done. Now please stop asking EU-area scientists for visas, leave to remain applications, NHS surcharges, ATAS clearances, etc. Its a bigger barrier to research progress and is a huge waste of everyone’s time.

Come and work with us @LSTMvector! Senior Lecturer/Reader position (roughly equivalent to Assoc Prof/Prof) in Vector Biology. https://t.co/kwMdUryzTE

Great stuff

📢Job Alert! The Gómez-Díaz lab is seeking a technician to work in our projects about #malaria #epigenetics Our lab belongs to the @ipbln_csic of the @CSIC in Granada, Spain. Email me if interested. For more info about us, visit our web https://t.co/d0QHnPdQCS
