Banning smartphones in schools is good for learning and well-being. New study of 400+ middle schools in Norway: after smartphone bans, girls had fewer mental health issues & better grades. Boys and girls were less likely to be bullied. Smartphones belong at home or in lockers.

#Kinderuniversiteit 🐝🧑🔬| Vandaag kwamen kinderen uit groep 6,7 en 8 een kijkje nemen op de campus, waar ze les kregen over biodiversiteit. Casper Quist: “Zie ik eruit als een wetenschapper?” Kinderen: "Neeeee, je haar zit niet raar, niet zo *poef*"👉 https://t.co/n3j3iPPwIt

Today, we are having the last network meeting for the @insectdoctors programme. A mix of excitement to see all the ESRs work, and sad that this amazing programme is drawing toward an end. But lots more publications and outputs to come, so keep watching our account!

Our lab's first preprint is up! We identify a trojan horse RNA virus, A. odysseus, hiding in the human-infecting parasite, T. gondii. A crazy story; this virus could explain why the 1994 Victoria, BC toxoplasmosis outbreak was so hypervirulent. 👉 https://t.co/E888uw6Xzz 👈
