Had a blast presenting at and attending #PHAM2025!

Had so much fun with @rohrecologylab.bsky.social at #ESA2025! Can’t wait to be back

While out walking, this pair of insects fell from the tree canopy and landed right in front of me!

I’m normally an Aedes guy, but I had a blast learning how to do Anopheles midgut and salivary gland dissections today with members of the @aacostaserrano.bsky.social lab today! They’re the best!

Another historic botanical garden in Varenna, Castello di Vezio, maintains artificial mini ponds full of mosquito predators as a means of ecological control. Very fun to see in action (and full of adorable snails, fish, and aquatic inverts)

Took a brief break from honeymooning to identify hundreds of Aedes albopictus larvae in a standing water basin at Villa Monastero in Varenna, Italy. Remember to drain or dump standing water!

Turtles are out and rhododendrons in full bloom. Finally beginning to feel like a lovely summer 🐢☀️😁

What an amazing day discussing my field with legislators at the state capitol! I focused my presentation on how and why the thermal performance of vectors and pathogens should inform interventions and control strategies against mosquito-borne diseases across Indiana 🦟

Loving these rainy days in the PNW 😄
