If you haven't seen it yet, check out our latest study, where we compared the activity and sleep patterns of several Aedes albopictus strains from around the world. @nicoleewynne @KChandrasegaran @Lahondere_Lab @insectphysJBB @matajson @vtbiochem @FralinLifeSci @mariangelaboni3
#Tiger mosquito colonies from different geographic origins differ in their sleep and activity levels but not in the time of peak activity

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.
Haven’t been on here in a bit, but we have a new paper on how mosquitoes will use multiple blood feeding events to survive dry periods that can extend to drought.
Study has basic biology to modeling!

And the companion study on Aedes aegypti led by @insectphysJBB and @matajson, featuring some work by @nicoleewynne is now available on @biorxivpreprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

New preprint in collaboration with @insectphysJBB's group, @Lahondere_Lab and @mariangelaboni3 . We compared the activity and sleep profiles of multiple strains of Aedes albopictus and found some differences influenced by their geographic origin. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

After 4 years, 10 months, and 8 days of arriving in the US, I have officially completed my Ph.D. program.
It has been a fantastic experience. And I am particularly grateful for the support, mentorship, assistance, and prayers from many people during this academic voyage.

I would like to especially thank my ever-supportive advisor, Dr. Joshua Benoit (@insectphysJBB), thank you for being a mentor and a friend. I also want to thank members of the Benoit lab. You guys rock!
My sincere appreciation to our collaborator, Dr. Clement Vinauger...
