Check out our new study out this week in Science Advances!
Our new system, IFEGENIA, demonstrates inducible female-elimination making it useful for vector control.

Keep your eyes peeled for the next gen. of this technology combining and perfecting sterility and female elimination. Coming soon w/ @Omar_Akbari_
Anyone else considering going to this conference on Emerging Genetic Biocontrol Technologies in Kenya?

It's #TimeToDeliverZeroMalaria.
This #WorldMalariaDay, meet the researchers from @UCSanDiego @pamcafrica @IrssDro @TargetMalaria @UCIrvine @LSTMnews @ASmidler working to #innovate to transform the fight against #malaria 👉bit.ly/3AmVMu3
#OutreachNetwork #EndMalaria
Came across this pic and it shot me right through the heart. I can only imagine raising a child under a bed net - especially one at this age - the same age as my daughter. It's my motivation for today.
Anophelines, your days are numbered.
Don't forget @worldmalariaday is 4/25
Excited to be giving a talk at this fantastic GRC meeting in Spain next year! – at San Diego, CA

Have any other Anopheles transgenesis people had problems with the injector's Nitrogen gas causing lethality? We use medical grade, but a different brand than in the past.

Pit in my stomach that the midterms won’t go as hoped - bordering on existential dread. It’s been too long since RvW & enthusiasm has waned. If only we had something to inspire pride, power, and patriotism in the young women of this country - nothing could eclipse that magic 🌕🇺🇸
Excited to be presenting a Lightning talk tomorrow

Pensez-vous que je devrais pratiquer mon français?
And after un gaufre, maybe I'll find time to visit my old school @IntSchBrussels 🤷♀️ Decisions. decisions.
Thrilled at Ukraine’s recent advances, but as the pressure mounts, I can’t help but feel a pit in my stomach regarding Putin’s reaction as he starts to feel the squeeze

Check out our new brainchild, Ifegenia, which doubles as a confinable population suppression tool, and a nearly flawless (>99.9%), high-throughput, genetic sexing system… all in the deadly African malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae!
