It’s about time! Malaria & mosquitoes on the road
[Subtitle]
Project Overview:
In collaboration with the RAiSE project, scientists from the Reece Lab will engage rural school pupils with cutting-edge research to enhance science delivery, foster desire to better understand the living world, and show how science can tackle global issues. Malaria parasites and mosquitoes are continually adapting to their ever-changing world, and the daily rhythms of their behaviour are vital to understanding and treating the disease. Primary 4-6 children will conduct their own research projects on mosquitoes from their local environment and relate this knowledge to the role of mosquitoes in global health.
If you know of a rural school interested in a visit from the Reece Lab, please get in touch with them. Their website is https://thereecelab.com/on-tour and they are on twitter at @ReeceLab.
