Another great poster at the #esove, @daviddoescience shows how LAMP assays can be used as a cost-effective xenosurveillance approach using reusable aluminium coffee cups! Have a look at S7-P09.

Pretty strong evidence of negative mental health effects of doing a PhD. Recent working paper by @EvaRanehill, @annahsandberg, Sanna Bergvall, and Clara Fernström. Paper link: swopec.hhs.se/lunewp/abs/lun…

Among 2800 academic #postdocs working in the United States, those holding temporary visas received lower pay and less career support and guidance than U.S. citizens and permanent residents, even though visa holders were more productive. @ScienceCareers bit.ly/4glgAWu

The history of tropical medicine overlaps with the history of colonialism, manifesting today with an uneven distribution of researchers from the global North and the global South. How can we decolonize global health moving forward? iamtropmed.org/blog/2023/10/…

I'm looking for a #PhDStudent to work on insecticide resistance management in #mosquitos on an NSF funded grant. I'd love to hear from any driven, critical, independent individuals out there looking for a challenge. Email me if interested at shuijben@asu.edu. Please share!

#DidYouKnow the lifespan of an average #mosquito is less than two months? It's true! Males typically live for 10 days or less, while females can live up to 8 weeks. Of course, that's assuming we don't get them first! Enjoy your weekend! #funfactfriday

Que desagradable encontrarse a Javier Hernández y Melgar Padilla de FCN en reunión con Meme Conde del otro partido oficial en reunión para seguro seguir planeando el complot contra la democracia

Con respeto, perdón, pero he oído los audios que salieron a luz en su campaña pasada donde hay evidencia de cosas turbias. Guatemala necesita un gobierno que, en vez de extraer, trabaje para mejorar la situación de sus ciudadanos, y en mi opinión @msemillagt tiene esa intención.
Porque no le dá ilusión que sea una mujer comprometida y con pasión con el país con experiencia y que conoce las necesidades de Guatemala Luis? Ud es guatemalteco exitoso y tiene años de no vivir aquí pero se que ama Guate!

Datos para hacer una proyección del futuro: - En 2019 Quiñonez ganó con la diferencia más baja que el Unionismo ha tenido frente a su rival más cercano, fueron 14mil votos de distancia. - Empató en las zonas que ahora muestran más descontento. - Ganó por las zonas 11, 14, 15 y 16

My wife told me to take the spider out instead of killing him. Went out. Had a few drinks. Nice guy. He's a web designer.
