Genetic Vector Control and #genedrive. Links to interesting bio lit, retro football clips, old soul/disco links, memes...are why I'm here. But mostly memes.

not on here much but one can still find a few gems. This BBC in depth article by @florencejourno being one of them: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx27…
Chapeau 🧢
I'll be doing a lecture @LSTMnews , would be great if you could attend online:

I am so happy to finally share this preprint, containing the main body of my PhD work, on engineering resilient #genedrives for #malaria control!!🦟🌍
We predict 🧬, test 🔬, and overcome 🥳 target site resistance expected to arise in nature.⬇️

I can get over the fact that I had to wait until the 8th tweet to be mentioned 😉👇🏼👏🏼👏🏼 well done you!

pay attention please, all of those who have done functional genomics courses with me and @pamcafrica and @TReNDinAfrica - if you have significant genomics experience then these are a great opportunity for you

Anopheles #funestus🦟 is a significant #malaria carrier in #Africa.
@CharlMQuinn, @TonahN, and I at @LSTMvector, are developing genetic tools to target this species to understand insecticide resistance. tinyurl.com/33pb6ndc

Some genius in doing this, and dedication to the end. Can you guess where I am? Clue: I think the hand gesture might be deliberate.

Very proud of how well this is going. I should add, most of this would not have happened without @pamcafrica 🤝
PhD students from IRSS in Burkina Faso have worked with @LSTMnews vector biologists to generate a transgenic mosquito.
The partnership, funded by the @gatesfoundation, is designed to build capacity in molecular biology and genetic control of mosquitoes in Burkina Faso.
This is top notch science writing for a public audience by @iansample

Exciting PhD opportunity (for UK-fee students) available in my lab and also with @FleurPonton! Please share with your networks! Open to anyone interested in insect behaviour, vector ecology and developing (evo/epi) models (i.e. experience not required, just enthusiasm to learn!).
Fully funded* PhD opportunity working with me and @FleurPonton (also Helena Stage @pipilika_aj)
*UK students only (funding rules)
If interested in maternal effects, mosquitoes, microbes, models -- apply!!
Get to spend time both at @BristolBioSci and @mqnatsci
This can only be a good idea 👏🏼
We are extremely excited to announce the 3rd edition of the EvoBio Crash Course! 🥳
We focus on providing a thorough course on the basics of #EvoBio and tips to build a career in the field directed to students from the Global South 💚

Showing my age, but I was at this game. No one really commented at the time that it was that rough!
