That's me done with academia. I can't take the disappointments while waiting for opportunities. Mounting debts and expectations. It was never meant to be i guess.

Happy to share my thesis work. We investigated the effect of host species on composition of gut microbiota of sand fly species in Türkiye. Our results show that host genotype is a significant factor in shaping gut microbiota. kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...

When they say Insecticide Treated Nets (ITNs) are not effective in #malaria control i show them this picture. You have to account for gaps in protection where the person is exposed to biting. Therefore, its not conclusive to state #ITNs are not effective where there is sudden rise in malaria cases

Today, I had the displeasure of rejecting a paper for publication. As a reviewer, I always try to offer constructive criticism. This time, the authors self- plagiarized a paper they published a month ago by using a subset of the published data as new data. #reviewer2

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
