Congratulations to former Ph.D. student Dr. Julianne Peláez, who has been awarded a Hanna Gray Fellowship @hhmi.bsky.social to work with Professor Paul Garrity at Brandeis on mosquitoes! Julianne is richly deserving of this award and continues to amaze me with her science. So proud of you Julianne!

How do mosquitoes find people to bite & places to lay eggs? Turns out, sensing water vapor is key. In new work we (Tang et al.) ID mosquito receptors for dry/moist air. KO'ing them drops blood feeding and renders females unable to find water to lay eggs. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
