What a tossing good time we had at ReproLab’s Chinese New Year celebration! 🍊🧨 We kicked things off with a vibrant Yu Sheng session—everyone throwing their wishes for a prosperous year into the air (literally)! The higher the toss, the bigger the blessings, right? 🙌
Our wishes were as wild as our lab! Some hoped for a flood of papers 📄, others wanted more insects in their traps 🦗 (yes, please!). 🎉 Whether it's scientific success or more bugs to study, we’re all set to crush 2025 with even more breakthroughs, fun, and a little bit of luck sprinkled in. 🌟 Let’s make this year legendary! 💥

Last week flew by with a full schedule of interesting talks and opportunities to connect with like-minded people from both academia and industry. Dr. P is finally winding down from the post-conference madness! Looking forward to seeing everyone again at IFW2026?
Some group photos to kickstart the conference:
Attendees got to try actual insects at the conference! A great way to experience incorporating insects into our diet (PS yes food was good)
Paparazzi shots of Dr. P, students, and our collaborator Dr Moritz Gold taken during their presentations:
Dr. P's Keynote: Insect reproductive evolution: From biological diversification to sustainable solutions
Dr Moritz: Ingestion and egestion dynamics of micro- and nanoplastics in black soldier fly larvae
Adrian: Physical waste properties alter temperature, respiration and rearing performance in black soldier fly bioconversion
Chloe: Modelling consumer choice in the purchase of insect-based, cultivated and plant-based meat products.
Qihui: Unravelling the Link Between Diet-Induced Phenotypic Plasticity and Reproductive Strategies in Black Soldier Fly adult

Our ex-student Ms Toh Kai Xin came back for a quick walk through our lab spaces with the future members of Reprolab :D
So nice to see you Kai Xin! Hope your students from River Valley High School has a good time learning about insects (and the place you spent 3 years of your life in)!
