#SpottedLanternflies are more prevalent in the #DMVArea this year. @UMDEntomology's Mike Raupp spoke with @fox5dc's @JoshRosenthalTV about why. fox5dc.com/news/spotted-l…

Biological sciences Ph.D. candidate Priyanka Bharadwaj uses Marchantia (aka common liverwort) as a model to study how plants can survive extreme conditions. Read about Priyanka's #PlantAdaptation research: go.umd.edu/bharadwaj

In his lab at @UMDscience Distinguished University Professor of Entomology Raymond St. Leger works with mosquitoes that carry dangerous diseases such as malaria, Zika and dengue. He uses fungi in an attempt to find a biocontrol method that can kill disease-carrying mosquitoes…

A study by @AOSC_UMD, @JohnsHopkinsSPH and South Baltimore community researchers links #AirPollution in Baltimore's Curtis Bay community to nearby coal terminal activity and wind. Read about the adverse effects of coal dust and the study's implications: go.umd.edu/coal-dust

"Flavor" physicist Manuel Franco Sevilla (@UMDPhysics) studies fundamental particles in high-energy proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at @CERN. Learn about the LHCb and #ParticlePhysics in tomorrow's (7/22) #RedditAMA—submit questions now: redd.it/1m5sul6

The St. Leger lab is engineering innovative ways to control mosquito populations and reduce the spread of diseases they carry👇

Over a million people die from mosquito-borne diseases every year. Because mosquitoes have adapted to resist conventional control measures, @UMDEntomology's Raymond St. Leger decided to innovate. Watch this video to learn about his lab's work using fungi to fight mosquitoes ⬇️

Supported by TRAILS, Huaishu Peng (@huaishup), Ge Gao, Jiasheng Li (@jsli_21) and @CornellInfoSci's Malte Jung are building wearable AI to turn nonverbal cues—like nods and gestures—into touch and audio signals to improve communication between blind individuals and their…
