Check out our latest paper "Detecting Dengue in flight: Leveraging Machine Learning to Analyse Mosquito Flight Patterns for Infection Detection"!

In this study we used machine learning algorithms to detect dengue-infected mosquitoes based on their 3D flight patterns!

Frustrating to see such blatant plagiarism by an article in a Wiley journal. See if you can spot the difference. No action has been taken by the journal.

NIH cuts indirect rates on grants to 15%.

This will be the end of American excellence in science.

Universities will struggle and many (likely most) will terminate their research programs.

Independent research institutions will not be able to survive this.

Mosquito-borne #dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis detected in Queensland.
- #JEV likely imported from Southern Queensland, Goondiwindi. Eek.😬
