Para mis colegas y amigos que hablan español. #aedes #aegypti en America: la ruta histórica de un mosquito viajero. www.amc.edu.mx/revistacienc... @ctcaes.bsky.social

Of all the harm this administration has done to US science, today's proposed changes to the way federal grants are awarded and administered is the most damaging yet. The text of the federal register document is impenetrably tedious by design, so here's an excellent summary of what it says.

Forest entomologists are already depleted. Invasive pests are just getting worst. We need more forest entomologists and tree pathologists, not less! @entsocamerica.bsky.social www.ctpublic.org/news/2026-05...

Two chromosome-scale genomes of wild Aedes aegypti aegypti mosquitoes from North America and South-East Asia academic.oup.com/jhered/artic...

First domestic #aegypti wild assemblies! (Not from your favorite lab colony). Led by @genmorinaga.bsky.social, a collaboration between @ctcaes.bsky.social @yale.edu and @jsoghigian.bsky.social. Two chromosome-scale genomes of wild Aedes aegypti aegypti… academic.oup.com/jhered/artic...

Postdoc position opening in my group! Research projects: pangenomes for diverse organisms, genome evolution, biocomputing, language models. Please reach out if interested!

First chromosome-level reference assembly of field @aegypti formosus and sister species @aedes mascarensis is out. Work led by @genmorinaga.bsky.social if @jsoghigian.bsky.social group in collaboration with us at #CT_CAES, @yale.edu, @ird-fr.bsky.social, @pasteur.fr academic.oup.com/gbe/advance-...

Detecting chromosome inversions in @aegypti is a real art! I am honored to be part of this project. academic.oup.com/gbe/article/...

Despite all the shit going on, we have to celebrate our victories. New publication with @entomososwin.bsky.social and @vectorimmunity.bsky.social showing that hemocytes play a central role in disseminating flaviviruses to secondary tissues potentially functioning as a Trojan Horse(TBD) rdcu.be/euj4g

#threeMosquitoes. “The biology of deadly insects.” A book by my colleague and friend Jeff Powell is out! He just brought in my very own signed copy! Get yours @hopkinspress.bsky.social www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/...

In our recent publication, we advocate to continue the use of subspecies for Aedes #aegypti @jsoghigian.bsky.social @entsocamerica.bsky.social @oxfordacademic.bsky.social academic.oup.com/jme/advance-...

If you are ready to advocate to your representatives (or friends and families) about the economic value of NIH funded research, you can check your state at www.unitedformedicalresearch.org/nih-in-your-...

What can you do? Talk loudly about what government actually does for you. Call your reps and tell them to protect federal research and to make government work for all Americans. Write op-eds. Talk about the medical research that saved your life. Share your stories. Help people make the connections.

Fyi… www.science.org/content/arti...
