There are many questions regarding mosquito pollination. @DanicaShannon14, Nalany Richardson, @Lahondere_Lab, and myself, review the current state of the field in Current Opinion in Insect Science. Paper openly available here until September 18th: https://t.co/MdUvnbj5It

🦟"'A warmer, sicker world': #Mosquitoes carrying deadly diseases (eg. #WestNile, #dengue or #EasternEquineEncephalitis) are on an unstoppable (?) march across the #USA (and elsewhere)" quoting @SadieRyan @Lahondere_Lab @morde @ISID_org et al. https://t.co/OcduANBKmh via @BBC

And thanks to my kids: you’ve taught me so much and I am so lucky to see you grow, learn and explore! Go collect all the bugs, plants and rocks you want, the world is yours! ❤️

Finally, I want to thank you Clément @thevinaugerlab for being the best collaborator, friend, husband and dad I could possibly imagine having next to me. Thank you for your endless support, advice and for making my life more fun!!

I want to thank my parents for letting me collect all the bugs, plants and rocks I could possibly find as a kid... (I actually haven’t changed much since then! 😅). The freedom you gave me has forged my scientific curiosity from early on.

...to cite but a few! Thank you all for your support, for being role models, mentors, friends. Special thanks to @HawleyDana: You're an amazing person and I am so so grateful for your friendship and support!!

A huge thanks to all the amazing women who have crossed my path @freelyflyingbee @corlettwwood, @mushroombody @ecolforecaster @MelanieJABody @_tanvideora_ Nisha Duggal, Catherine Larochelle, Roberta Polak, Marjorie Labédan, Sally Paulson, Catherine Bourgouin, Tere Insausti...

Thank you to my colleagues and peers within my department: @KylieAllenVT @JustinLemkulVT @TheSladeLab @jutraslab. Special thanks to those who have worked with me on the DEI committee (special mention to @ligilpineda!) as well as to our admin office and tech support.

I also want to thank the people who wrote letters of support for my P&T dossier. I have no idea wrote these, but they certainly made a difference, so thank you! 😀

All of this would not have been possible without the support of great leaders including @Glenda_Gillaspy , Pete Kennelly, @MHulver, Stefan Roberts, Dennis Dean and Bill Hopkins. Thanks for believing in me!

Thank you to all my collaborators, at VT, in the US, in Europe and beyond, who have made this journey exciting and rich in discoveries!!

Next, a big thank to all the amazing grad and undergrad students, lab techs / specialists and postdocs I have (had) the chance to mentor and work with. Nothing would have been possible without you, and I am very lucky to have been part of your own scientific journey!

First, I want to thank my PhD advisor, Claudio @CRLazzari and my post-doc advisor, Jeff @RiffellLab for mentoring me and for their support throughout the years. I learned so much in your labs and from the both of you!

My journey to where I am today is far from linear (but it's a story for another day!), and I am really grateful for all the amazing people I have had the chance to work with since I started.

I recently learned that I have been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure. I am back here to thank the many people who made it possible...

Is there anyone here who applied for a Career-Life Balance supplement from @NSF and/or a Life Event Supplement from @NIH and would be willing to share their application or give advice? #AcademicMamas @Momademia #WomeninSTEM Please RT!

Check out this new publication from the lab in collaboration with the @Lahondere_Lab where we analyzed how popular soaps alter mosquito attraction levels. Work led by former grad student Morgen VanderGiessen and former postdoc Anya Tallon. https://t.co/e8L18RSlCv

Bravo Clément 😍 !!! (both for earning tenure and for the amazing cover 😊)

New publication from the lab where @nicoleewynne, @KChandrasegaran, and Lauren Fryzlewicz show that visual cues alone are sufficient to prevent mosquitoes from feeding on a visually defensive artificial host by triggering escape responses!

Applications are now open for the REU program @MLBS_UVA !! This is a fantastic opportunity for undergraduate students!! Our lab will recruit two students to work on mosquito-frog interactions and mosquito-plant interactions!
