NEWS: Did you miss this? Congratulations to the @mobilemalaria team from @bdi_oxford who have completed their journey across sub-Saharan Africa, running a 'mobile laboratory' and showing how genetic analysis in the field can help to fight #malaria medsci.ox.ac.uk/news/mobile-…

After winning a @LandRover bursary last year, the @mobilemalaria team travelled across Africa with MinION at the centre of their mobile laboratory, aiming to improve future monitoring of malaria and mosquito populations. Watch their story here: bit.ly/2ZjlZsn

wondering what some of major challenges to malaria research in Africa in 2019 are? listen to our new @mobilemalaria podcast #labroving where we capture some of the conversations we had with collaborators in the back of our #landrover (warning: it's niche) anchor.fm/georgebusby
Join @busbygeorge at the @BritishSciFest on Sept 13 for a talk on the Mobile #Malaria Project - learning about malaria and sequencing #DNA in the back of a @LandRover across Africa. Get your free tickets here: britishsciencefestival.org/e…

Great journey across Namibia with @mobilemalaria. Highlight was the possibility of mobile sequencing technology to provide timely and in depth evidence for decision making in the field. Best wishes @busbygeorge and team on next leg of your journey #Zambia

The first leg of the @mobilemalaria project involved a stop in Windhoek at the @unam_na main campus. The team interacted with students who had a chance to see the state of the art mobile lab fitted into the back of a #discovery #LandRover

We're honored to host the first leg of #mobilemalaria project. Follow the @mobilemalaria car with @busbygeorge and see where it's stopping next. #Namibia #Zambia #Tanzania #Kenya
Still waiting for the car... Saw this great map in Swakopmund aquarium #geography instagram.com/p/BvtDGxOjJGD/…
