🌟 Exciting first week for @chancygondwems1👩🏿🔬 and @ChisomoNkhoma8👨🏿🔬 at @LSTMnews, working with their tsetse colony🪰 They’ve developed skills in fly tissue extraction, ovarian age grading🪰🔬, and tsetse husbandry. Next week: lab experiments! 🧪🥼 #SleepingSickness #Entomology
Our Isabel and Andrew have been busy presenting on #tsetse and #TinyTargets in #Liverpool this week. First at the #BSP2024 spring meeting yesterday and then at the #RSTMH Research in Progress conference today. #Research #vector #control #monitoring #entomology @LSTMvector
Our paper on trypanosome DNA in cattle faeces is finally out! 🐄💩🧬 Thanks v much to all involved - in particular @DrLiamMorrison + Roslin Institute team, @SaculNTD, @TorrSteve and Martha Betson 🐄💩🧬 nature.com/articles/s4159…
We were honoured to receive a Queen’s Anniversary Prize at a special ceremony in Buckingham Palace today for our life-saving tsetse control project Tiny Targets. lstm.ac/QAPrize
Day 2 of #UCUstrike and again had a great turnout, and lots of support from colleagues and the public. We even had 6 consecutive honking/waving buses, beating yesterday's 3 😂 Thanks to everyone who supplied us with hot drinks, cakes, and chocolate throughout the day! #UCURising
A huge thank you to everyone who made #BSP60York wonderful & memorable! Big thank you to @JuhszAl39340331 for designing our 60th Anniversary logo! Can you spot yourself in the collage of happy faces? Our 2022 Autumn meeting will be in @KeeleUniversity later this year!
Our Isabel presenting her work on detecting #trypanosome #DNA in #cattle #faeces at #BSP2022 in York this week. #phdlife #xenomonitoring #poster #diagnostics #molecular
