Associate Professor of Entomology at UMD, with a love-hate relationship to mosquitoes. Advocate for open-source, open-science.
Thrilled to see this study out in Science! It was a privilege to have had the opportunity to contribute to PipPop alongside such a talented group. Congrats, Yuki, on your leadership and an exciting piece of work! 🌆🦟
How does life evolve to adapt to modern cities?
Out now in Science, my PhD work with @lindymcbr.bsky.social uncovers the ancient origin of the “London Underground mosquito” – one of the most iconic examples of urban adaptation.

Ancient origin of an urban underground mosquito
Understanding how life is adapting to urban environments represents an important challenge in evolutionary biology. In this work, we investigate a widely cited example of urban adaptation, Culex pipie...

West Nile virus transmission is incredibly complex and predicting human infection risk is challenging. So excited to partner with Suman Bhowmick and Rebecca Lee Smith who use math to understand its eco-epidemiology! doi.org/10.1016/j.ec...

Good news might be in short supply these days, but I have some - Ben B., MSc student in the Fritz lab, (more than) successfully defended his thesis research this week! Congratulations, Ben! @umdscience.bsky.social @umdentomology.bsky.social

Finally committing to a switch for bluer skies. How about a picture of one of my resident Washington D.C. neighbors to kick things off? It doesn't matter how you feel about them......they'll always love you!
