New preprint in the lab combining what we like best: insects, love, chemistry and the olfactory system! 1/8

Takeshi Morita: When mosquitoes lose their sense of smell, they become better human-hunters by enhancing their heat-seeking abilities. Sensory compensation = deadlier predators.

@oliviagoldman.net (and I) published the first comprehensive Mosquito Single Cell Atlas. Analyzing 367,000+ cells! We found some cool stuff about sexual dimorphism and blood feeding.

@leahhouri.bsky.social : Female mosquitoes actively control mating via genital "lock-and-key" mechanics! Asian tiger mosquitoes can "pick the lock" of yellow fever mosquitoes, driving extinctions.

“Okay, they're terrible and they're beautiful, right? It’s like a three-dimensional chess game — and they are 50K steps ahead of us. Everything about them is perfectly designed to get our blood.”— @leslievosshall.bsky.social, HHMI VP & Chief Scientific Officer

Congratulations Maya!

1/ Transposable elements are often called "jumping genes" because they mobilize within genomes. 🧬
But did you know they can also jump 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘯 cells? 🤯
Our new study reveals how retrotransposons invade the germline directly from somatic cells.

A short thread 🧵👇

Science delivers! Time & time again scientists make unexpected & important discoveries when following their curiousity! That's why we're organizing Woodstock Night Science, a reimagined conference to inspire us to new ideas.
June 10-13 woodstock.img.cas.cz
Join us! #TheConferenceToEndAllConferences

Kavli NSI @rockefelleruniv.bsky.social member & former Director Leslie Vosshall has been awarded the 2025 Scolnick Prize in Neuroscience for her groundbreaking work on the neural mechanisms of mosquito behavior. 🦟🔬

Congrats, Dr. Vosshall! 🎉 #Neuroscience #KavliNeuro

Thanks Naama!

Mosquito cell atlas! Congratulations on an incredibly ambitious and well executed project @oliviagoldman.net @nadavshai.bsky.social @leslievosshall.bsky.social et al !!!

BIG NEWS! The Mosquito Cell Atlas preprint is live! 🦟🧬 My first senior author paper! Massive and accessible snRNA-seq dataset and a lot of cool mosquito biology. A true collaborative achievement! #MCA

See @oliviagoldman.net thread here

I am thrilled to present the Mosquito Cell Atlas! We analyzed 367K nuclei from 19 tissues in male & female mosquitoes, creating a comprehensive resource for vector biology & infectious disease research.

Plus we made some surprising discoveries! 🦟🧵
