✈️ Got feedback or questions for the Biogents scientists? Send them my way In two weeks I'm visiting Biogents HQ in Germany to meet the team that designs and tests the traps. It's a rare chance to share what we've learned this season and ask them questions directly.
I'm planning to share feedback that's popped up throughout the season, including confusion around setup instructions, that a screen over the GAT trap's funnel would keep critters out, and the GAT's dome needs a more secure fit on the base. What would you add? Hit reply to share! Photos welcome.
🦇 If you're curious: Battling Bloodsuckers at the new Nat Geo museum, Oct 1 Epidemiologist and Nat Geo Explorer Ryan Carney is talking mosquitoes, bats, and other bloodsuckers, plus how AI and citizen science are advancing human health. The event is on Thursday, Oct 1 at 7:30 pm, and a good excuse to check out the new museum space. Tickets are $30 and Itty Bitty members get 10% off with the code IttyBitty. Event details
Thank you for jumping into this experiment with us. We've learned a lot this season, and I can't wait to see what the results tell us. In the meantime, enjoy these first cool evenings outside!
