Meet fitsumgtadesse, a malaria researcher (molecular biologist) and this year’s Alan J. Magill Fellow. We were able to catch him today outside of the poster exhibit. 1/4

You can also see him speak tomorrow (Weds) at symposium 119 on the invasion and expansion of Anopheles stephensi mosquito into Africa and how national malaria programs are responding. Please congratulate him if you see him! 4/4

Dr. Sarah Zohdy, @pmigov entomologist, spoke w/NPR Goats & Soda for All Things Considered about new mosquito research led by fitsumgtadesse. As being presented at ASTMH #TropMed22: The species Anopheles stephensi has the potential to derail progress to #EndMalaria. npr.org/sections/goats…

👋 #TropMed22 attendees! Two questions for ya: (1) Did you see this great NPR Goats & Soda story on An. stephensi 🦟? (2) Do you want to know more? Join the U.S. President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) 3pm Symposium 119 in Rm 602 & learn from experiences in Ethiopia, Kenya, India & Sudan. ow.ly/3UCl50Lrz8P

one time in college a professor spent 90 minutes talking about an example scenario that involved beef and i thought nothing of it until several weeks later when i found out that my classmate had made a minute long compilation of all 125 times he said "beef" in one lecture

Wow! Scientists have observed a single-cell alga evolve in real time into a multicellular organism. The transition took around a year and was caused by the introduction of a predator into the environment. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Kenya now joins the list of countries that have reported the presence of the invasive An. stephensi. Molecular methods were critical for our team to do this and should form the center of surveillance. There's an urgent need to begin control activities even as we 1/2

Proud of Jordan Ahn for leading this work using 🚢 trade and commerce data and habitat suitability to identify potential points of introduction for invasive malaria vector An. stephensi. Globalization continues to create paths for vectors and pathogens! nature.com/articles/s4159…

A great opportunity to meet, network, and get updates with the An. stephensi community. The mosquito is spreading/being detected fast across the continent
