Your Christmas tree is a stone-"cold" killer of ticks! Our good-news story of the powerful combination of low temperatures and balsam fir essential oils to control black-legged ticks.
Hi Folks, this week the spot is for our collaborations with Faraone Lab and the work of @ErikaPlazasChem . Faraone and Hillier labs are working together on the chemical and neuropharmacological characterization of psychedelic alkaloids from magic mushroom extracts using..
2/2 ...Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies) as a model.
This multidisciplinary research is a collaboration between academia (@AcadiaU) and private industry (Halucenex), funded by @MitacsCanada
Sometimes we collect mosquitoes in pretty interesting places! Some of the best are a 🚽toilet graveyard, ⛴ a washed-up boat, a truck 🛻, and a waterfall🌊
Interested in helping researchers at @AcadiaUniversity use eDNA technology to identify mosquito habitats across the province? @AcadiaMosquito is looking for volunteers to help collect water samples across the province this summer.
We are all getting ready for some field work action to test new formulas on ticks! Great collaboration with our industrial partner @Atlantickspray@acadiaresearch@AcadiaU
