#GoenchoSaib is a degree we have bestowed upon #StFrancisXavier because of our faith. The #faith of christendom, the #faith of the people of #Goa. May we be blessed with wisdom and harmony, throughout the world on this Feast day through the intercession of our saint.

He would never have devised the laws of stratigraphy that are still in use today. He wouldn’t have essentially invented geology or laid the groundwork for paleontology. He wouldn’t have developed the first law of crystallography.

Hahaha (oops)😅

Big @batsgoviral week! In PNASNews and Science Advances we test how to prevent zoonotic #spillover by interrupting virus transmission in bat reservoirs. Short story: culls didn’t reduce spillover but altered rabies spatial spread; transmissible vaccines may be a solution. A 🧵.

New & dangerous mosquito breed being confirmed a day or two after malaria vaccine. You guys can't even lie properly. This vaccine isn't for me. Were you waiting for the vaccine to make the announcement or it's the cog in the fear strategy?

1/2 🦟 #BiologicalControl of #mosquitoes‼️ 🌱 #UtriculariAurea is an aquatic carnivorous plant present at #India, #Japan & #Australia, and now a nice research demonstrated the efficacy on 4th instar larval predation of #AedesAegypti, #AnopheleStephensi & #CulexQuinquefasciatus…

Erm, is it me? Or are there ALOT of mosquitoes this spring in the UK🦟🦟🦟

📢 We’re recruiting a PhD student! Do you want to explore cell fate decisions and/or cell cycle regulation in malaria parasites? We’re looking for someone keen on working with P. falciparum (asexual and sexual stages) and large datasets. Deadline 30/06, tinyurl.com/4bsbcnvb

Wow! Been waiting for this: RNA-guided nucleases encoded by eukaryotic transposons! Extremely cool.

An aquatic plant that feeds on small underwater creatures, bladderwort can reduce mosquito larvae in nearby water by over 70 percent, a study in India shows. 🔗 Bladderwort: How a Carnivorous Plant Could Be Used in Mosquito Control entomologytoday.org/2024/03/27/bla…
