Using the CRISPR technique, it's possible to genetically modify mosquitoes by disabling a gene in females, so that their proboscis turns male, making them unable to pierce human skin.

20 yrs after my 1st paper on microplastics, the science is clear microplastics are now widely distributed across the planet, causing harm & contaminating the food we eat the water we drink & the air we breathe. It’s time to change the way we design use and dispose of plastics!

In 2004, @ProfRThompson led the first ever study – published in @ScienceMagazine – to use the term #microplastics to describe the tiny plastic particles being found in the marine environment.
