I finish my PhD lab work the same way I started it: mosquito dissections. Since one of the things I've enjoyed most at @LSTMnews has been teaching, I thought I'd share these pics for whoever wants to use them 😊

We have a @IAFultonSchools DNA Club team researching the distribution of Wolbachia related sex ratio distorters in pillbugs across the US. We are raising funds to help with Sanger sequencing costs. Please help us if you can through our crowdfunding: experiment.com/pillbugsrd
Had about 2 years with Laura as a mentor and friend and all I’ll say is that Salford is lucky to be getting her. Good luck Laura!

Been great to have @MosWhisperer visiting for the last couple of weeks. Treasure trove of mosquito/drosophila/Wolbachia knowledge.
