The surprisingly effective time management tools used during the rapid fire sessions @mozziebites.bsky.social and I chaired at #MCAA2025 today - magnificent metal mozzie courtesy of @stacey-lynch.bsky.social!

A very nice summary of what we do and don't know about temperature and #Wolbachia strains in mosquitoes from @perran.bsky.social at #MCAA2025

Very excited to be at MCAA in person for the first time in 7 years! Catching up with a trio of Petes 😊 #MCAA2025

Loving @mozzienique.bsky.social's talk at the World Mosquito Day Seminar on using In2Care bait stations to attract mosquitoes to larvicides that they then deliver to their breeding sites - very clever :)

Great to hear from @stacey-lynch.bsky.social at the World Mosquito Day Seminar on the amazing work done to show mosquitoes spread Buruli ulcer between possums and humans in Mornington Peninsula - good luck at the Eureka Prizes!

#WorldMosquitoDay

Ingenious and highly entertaining game set up by @csiro.bsky.social at #AVS12 where you compete to close as many screw top tubes while wearing two types of gloves, as required when working in a PC4 lab! Can't wait for playoffs in 20 mins...

Learned 3 things during the last talk of #AVS12 Session 8:

1. @royalfizzbin.bsky.social loves dirt

2. It's really hard to extract nucleic acid from dirt

3. There are heeeeaps of viruses in dirt - 2,460 novel viruses found in this one study!

Great work Dirt Queen! 👸🙌

So happy to see Mikaela Bell presenting her PhD work on Yada Yada virus chimeras at #AVS12 and continuing the proud tradition of incorporating funny TV shows into science - fantastic work!
