Meet Sarah Rothman! Sarah won the UMD 2022 3-Minute Thesis Competition (3MT) for her presentation titled, “Mosquitoes and Urban Green Space across Socioeconomic Gradients.” Visit go.umd.edu/SarahRothman3MM to watch her 3 minute award winning presentation! #WelcomeBackGradTerps

Thanks, Cara Leisnham, for letting me sneak out of the house each weekend (...and recover when I get back). Last long run before Boston. Great day for it. Montgomery County Running connect.garmin.com/modern/activit…

In an unlikely instance of harmony among invasive + native species, a recent study finds that in #Baltimore, MD, native Culex pipiens #mosquitoes thrive alongside invasive Aedes albopictus, given the right breeding habitat. caryinstitute.org/news-insights/… @slladeau @BESlter @PLeisnham

Higher West Nile Virus Infection in Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) and Culex (Diptera: Culicidae) Mosquitoes From Lower Income Neighborhoods in Urban Baltimore, MD academic.oup.com/jme/advance-ar…

The American people—not the politicians—elect the president. The scheme by members of Congress to reject the certification of the presidential election makes a mockery of our system and who we are as Americans. My full statement:

Please teach this in schools. Acreage does not vote. People do. This is how election results should be displayed.

So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!

An excellent article on the socio-ecology, evolution, and impacts of an invasive mosquito. Worth a read! @josh_sokol reports on how Aedes aegypti cozied up to human civilization, and why understanding their evolution could help us stop them: theatlantic.com/health/archive…
