Have you ever wondered how mosquitoes find you over long distances and why they bite you more than other people? Check out our recent work published in @CurrentBiology led by @dags263 & @stephrankin2 in collaboration with the Macha Research Trust, Zambia. cell.com/current-biology/ful…

What can we learn from the way spiders build their webs? 🕸️ Andrew Gordus's lab, @elegansdiversus, studies spiders to understand how their simple brains manage behavior, offering insights into brain function. magazine.krieger.jhu.edu/202…

Congratulations to Crick group leader Lucia Prieto-Godino @neuroluci 🥳
Lucia - whose lab is focused on finding out how neural networks in the brain develop, function and evolve - has been named as one of the six 2023 Vallee Scholars!

Happy to share our work on octopamine's role in modulating malaria mosquito audition in the swarm to facilitate partner detection! Octopamine signalling in the mosquito ear can be targeted by currently available insecticides🧵1/n neuromosquitolab.org

In an exciting new direction for the lab, we (circuits.jhu.edu) teamed up with Cindy Moss (batlab.johnshopkins.edu/) and Mel Wohlgemuth (arizonabatlab.com/) to bring two-photon imaging to the echolocating bat! Excited to share our preprint about this work (1/13)

This whole concept is just fascinating. Listen to hear what @McMenimanLab and his team did to gather the scents required to determine which scents mosquitoes prefer. It involves hot plates and sleeping volunteers and ... well, you just have to listen.
What scents are most alluring to mosquitoes? On today’s @publichealthpod with @SDesmon, @JHMRImalaria’s Conor McMeniman (@McMenimanLab) explains how learning more about mosquitoes’ scent preferences can help us in the fight against malaria.

For as long as there have been humans, there have been mosquitoes buzzing around in hopes of a bite to eat. Here's what scientists say keeps mosquitoes at bay cnn.it/3r2Zg3u

A quick FYI. If you’re interested to work on these topics the lab will soon be advertising two postdocs. One on Wolbachia and Anopheles, the other on Wolbachia control in Culex. Stay tuned for the link! Email or come and chat to me at the Wolbachia conference in Crete.
