BioSci's Noah Rose was quoted in a @nytimes article on a new form of mosquito control. “This work is cool in that it puts together a classic biological control idea with a more modern high-tech approach. They show that this kind of idea might have legs.” https://t.co/N4OGTo9Ryh

New study: Researchers are redefining the nutritional value of prey. Studying sea lion predators and prey, they found that not all prey are the same — even those of similar size and weight of the same species. https://t.co/09upg5M8oN
