Final EVE lab send off for @HesterWeaving tonight before she embarks on exciting science/life adventures (new country, new species, new techniques!). I will miss this wonderful human who brings me iced coffee on hot days, made an amazing tsetse mug, & set up our tsetse lab!

🚨New job alert🚨 I'm soon starting a post-doc at @ucdavis in the Vector Genetics Lab with Dr Greg Lanzaro! I'll assess potential impacts of #malaria resistant GM mosquitoes on wild populations and non-target species. Incl. exciting field work on islands São Tomé and Príncipe🦟

Really enjoyed the @RoyEntSoc #RESExtreme24 event last Thursday - thanks for inviting me! Such an interesting line-up of talks across the breadth of behaviour, physiology and different groups (pollinators, vectors). Congratulations to @HesterWeaving for winning Best Student Talk!

More insect species should be investigated to see if the patterns we found in tsetse flies are common to other less investigated insect species.🐜🪳 🪲 (6/6)

Ultimately, our results help explain why tsetse flies are declining in parts of their sub-Saharan range. This has important implications for sleeping sickness which the flies spread to humans, livestock and wild animals. 🌍 (5/6)

We also found that effects of heatwave were even felt in the offspring generation, with more daughters being born than sons. ♀️ ♂️ (4/6)

This is surprising, as for most insects male fertility is more sensitive to high temperature. 🦋🐞🦗 (3/6)

We found a three day heatwave reduced the number of offspring tsetse flies produced if either males or females were heat-exposed. 🔥 (2/6)

A very proud supervisor moment - my first PhD student @HesterWeaving passed her viva! (minor corrections) She's done brilliantly, publishing all 4 data chapters, navigating a pandemic, setting up tsetse lab, supervisor on mat leave for last year (sorry). Well done Hester!!!
