L’inquietante invasion d’Anopheles stephensi progresse en Afrique de l’Ouest. Il est nécessaire que les pays de la sous-région mettent en place un réseau de surveillance et détection précoce pour faire face à cette potentielle menace.

Useful tip for folks coding scripts in MacOS: command+shift+4 shows the mouse pointer coordinates on the screen. It made my day when writing a macro to automate downloading PDF files loaded inside a Safari window!

A mind-blowing paper has come out today in nature In 2016, JC Venter Institute scientists trimmed a bacterial genome to its barest minimum required for life to synthesize what they called a "minimal genome" (science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…). Today, a group of scientists from

Should I endorse the increased visibility of a predatory publisher like MDPI? Oh bon sang no! Considering cancelling my presence on ResearchGate …

C'est parti ! L'école d'été Jacques Hamon est lancée. Une semaine intense de #training en #taxonomie des #moustiques 🦟🦟🦟 avec @NMoiroux et Carlo Costantini à la représentation IRD.fr au Sénégal. MIVEGEC

Do you know how to pin mosquitoes and start a reference collection for training and academic purposes? Students are learning all this, and more, at the Jacques Hamon Summer School held in Dakar, thanks to @IRD MIVEGEC @NMoiroux Nil Rahola.

🌍🦟The just-released World #Malaria Report 2023 reveals a stark truth—we're worse off now than pre-pandemic. 📈🚨 In the lead-up to #COP28, the alarming trends in malaria cases & deaths demand global attention & a coordinated response. isglobal.org/en/-/world-mal…

Cool!

Enlightening study. Another brick towards evidence that vector-borne disease transmission can be more complex than we generally assume. Congratulations to the authors.

The Pirbright Institute Thanks so much for sharing 🦋

First session of our joint data analysis workshops using #RStats at the Medical Zoology lab of Institut Pasteur de Dakar 🇸🇳. Aiming to make this a routine feature to make next-generation vector biologists fluent with #DataScience

Answered: What are genetically modified mosquitoes? Viral Facts Africa

Long-term longitudinal study shows than some children can suffer up to one #malaria attack every three months, on average, over 25 years, suggesting that current estimates of malaria burden in Africa may be grossly underestimated thelancet.com/journals/eclin…

Amusing demonstration of how inherently uninformative are p-values about the outcome of a study. Should research careers made to rely on such untrustworthy numbers?

Found this AI-generated image of a “mosquito” 🦟 and felt somehow reassured 😎 that there are still days ahead before AI will fool expert eyes with fakes

My commentary on the closure of VectorBase. Join me in rallying for its sustainable continuation. Comment, repost, and circulate. Let’s ensure this vital resource remains accessible for our global #VectorBiology research community.
