I talked about the role our team is playing in this pandemic and my personal experience working in the COVID-19 vaccine trial 💉🦠👩🏼⚕️👩🏽🔬
Listen again to #LSTM's Dr Carla Solórzano-Gonzalez on BBC Radio Merseyside this morning. Carla spoke about her work on the current @OxfordVacGroup COVID-19 vaccine trial @NIHRresearch @LivHospitals

Record day of mosquito blood feeding today. ~5000 female mosquitoes fed and 16 mL of blood lost.

@WHO reviews all available evidence & has healthy, constructive debates w/ our global expert networks on clinical management, virology & lab, IPC, epi, modelling, etc. to develop technical guidance for #COVID19
I described how we do this recently 👇

Whoa! An amazingly dewy mystax! well done @OW_Photography - #WorldRobberFlyDay
One for #RobberFlyDay
I have photographed many robber flies in the field but this was the first one I found really saturated in the morning dew
I'm hoping we will be out of lockdown before these start coming out in my local area!

#Archive30 Day 23 - #YourArchive . Today we are continuing with A.Evans (1st female #entomologist & lecturer at #LSTM) She drew most of her publications & teaching materials. Here we have her diagram 🎨 of the #Anopheles #mosquito.🦟 #Entomology #vector #WomenInScience #STEM 🧪

Another 150 face shields out of the @LSTMnews doors this evening, to care workers in the Knowsley area. Big thanks to @DoESLiverpool for the plastic visors and @Beth_Poulton for helping pack everything up.

Some mosquitoes are beneficial: The larvae of Toxorhynchites mosquitoes are predators of the larvae of other mosquitoes (and other aquatic inverts) and the adult females do not blood feed. They often occupy the same container habitats as exotic Aedes sp. #FLMosquitoWeek #UFbugs

Many hours at the 🔬 worth it 😊!Excited to have our paper finally out, very proud to be part of this work. Congratulations to @clair_rose_ et al for this great effort! @AAcostaserrano @KinetoBites

Very happy to share our latest paper in @NatureMicrobiol. We used a combination of confocal and EM to understand how T brucei colonizes the tsetse gut. Great work from @Clairrose Naomi Dyer @aitorcasass & great collaborators Ian Prior & @ZEB_UniWue nature.com/articles/s41564-0…
