So pleased to win 3rd prize for my talk at the SEFARI gateway student showcase event :) allot of amazing talks there so was a real honor to earn a place. It was a great event, well done to BIOSS for hosting @bioss.bsky.social @sefariscot.bsky.social
The second day of the @bioss.bsky.social SEFARI PhD showcase is drawing to a close.
Itβs inspiring to see researchers embracing the challenge of communicating to mixed audiences with such openness and genuine curiosity. ππΌ

Awesome research by Zachary Stavrou-Dowd, Lee Haines and team showing that topical application of Nitisinone (including tarsal uptake) kills insecticide-resistant mosquitos. Lots of potential for other haematophagus parasites too π pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Bit late on posting this, but going to try and be more active on here. I was so chuffed to win 1st prize at Moredun Research Institute for my presentation about targeting the blood digestion pathway in Poultry Red Mite. My fellow students all gave great talks, so this was a real honour :)

Hello Blue sky! Thought I'd introduce myself. I am returning to my second year of a PhD project, attempting to further develop RNAi in Poultry Red Mite, Dermanyssus gallinae . I have been off for a year raising the best wee guy ever, my son Brock. Dog/cat mum also. Love creepies and crawlies.
