Every 23rd of April I buy a book (it is Book Day in Spain). This is the one I picked this year.
The pile of books is not small, but this will jump the queue for sure

Hi! Thought I asked to be added but apparently not 😅 would it be possible to add me to this list? Thank you!!

Monday morning and the first email coming in is a paper accepted and ready for publication. I wish every week started with good news like this 😁
Happy Monday!

A conciliación impide que as científicas participen nos medios tanto como os homes A situación persoal e familiar é o obstáculo que atopan o 23% das investigadoras para divulgar fronte ao 10% do sexo masculino

👩‍🔬 Por que participan máis científicos que científicas nos medios de comunicación?

Entre os principais obstáculos, o 23% das investigadoras vense afectadas pola conciliación persoal e familiar. Coñece os detalles desta desigualdade no seguinte artigo 👇

First week back to "normal" after Christmas for me. Re-organising experiments due to some issues in the lab, and when I thought everything was sorted, another "surprise" arises. Not a good one
Seems difficult to have a chill start of the year 😕

First reading of the year. Two chapters in, and loving it!
This year I'll try to read a bit more than last year (outside Entomology and Vector-Borne Diseases). Let's see how it goes ☺️🤓

Exciting - the Natural History Museum UK now have their database of pinned insect specimens - including #mosquitoes - online!

Search to find where people were collecting and preserving mosquitoes 100-200 years ago; including here in Scotland

See you THURSDAY 16th for this exciting seminar on the new world of GM #mosquitoes, designed to be refractory to #arbovirus infection, by Prof Luke Alphey, York. All welcome on Zoom - please help with a post!

Adding books to the "to read" pile... Some Spanish science books, and some Galician novels 🤓

Wishing a great New year's Eve and Happy 2025!

How cool is this? 🤩

Love this! it is amazing to see the adult developed inside 😍
