Together, we will build a world where the accomplishments of our daughters will be celebrated, rather than diminished.

Save insects!!!🐝🐛🦋🐞🐜🦗

The discovery of a mosquito (Aedes vittatus) on Guantanamo Bay reveals how globalisation is threatening to unleash the next pandemic... bbc.com/future/article…

It was great to share my work at ESA!

Check out our lab’s new paper, led by my amazing colleague, Cole Meier! We investigated the effects of photosensitive insecticides (PSIs) on mosquitoes across their developmental stages, finding that PSIs target the developing larvae but do not impact adult life history.

Proud to announce our latest work: Higher temperature accelerates the aging-dependent weakening of the melanization immune response in mosquitoes, led by graduate student Lindsay Martin. Lindsay Martin Vanderbilt University EvolutionVU PLOS Pathogens doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Happy to announce our newest paper in Immunity & Ageing: Warmer environmental temperature accelerates aging in mosquitoes, decreasing longevity and worsening infection outcomes. Kudos to Jordyn Barr, Lindsay Martin @Ann_T_Tate . Vanderbilt University Immunology & Allergy at BMC doi.org/10.1186/s12979…

New paper! Research led by Lindsay Martin with @SSMVANDY student Monzerrat shows that senescence of humoral antimicrobial immunity occurs in infected mosquitoes when the temperature is higher.

Super proud of Vanderbilt University graduate student Lindsay Martin for being featured in an ECR Spotlight (Early Career Researcher) in Journal of Experimental Biology . Lindsay Martin Vanderbilt College of Arts and Science doi.org/10.1242/jeb.24…

🌟 #ESAPBT 🐛🔬 Member Highlight 🌟 | As a PhD Candidate at Vanderbilt University🧬, Lindsay Martin studies how warmer temperatures affect mosquito physiology and disease transmission 🦟. Her passion for science began in high school with a project on insect antimicrobial peptides 📚

New paper from the lab published in Journal of Insect Physiology! Activation of the immune deficiency pathway (IMD) reduces the mosquito heart rate via a nitric oxide-based mechanism. Lindsay Martin Vanderbilt University Vanderbilt College of Arts and Science EvolutionVU doi.org/10.1016/j.jins…

Proud to announce our latest research! Warmer temperature accelerates reproductive senescence in mosquitoes. Vanderbilt University EvolutionVU Vanderbilt College of Arts and Science doi.org/10.3389/fphys.…

Excited to announce our latest article, with possibly the longest title ever. We demonstrate how warmer temperature accelerates the aging-dependent changes to the reproductive tissues of mosquitoes.
