Our co-supervised PhD student was given the amazing opportunity to share about her research on Pulau Ubin. They even saw an Onthophagus dung beetle rolling dung during the shoot!

Reprolab just held an "Introduction to Mosquitos" workshop this week, kindly organised by our mosquito experts Hui Qing (PhD student) and Tze Xuan (UROPS student). The workshop covered the basics of mosquito research like trapping, identifying, and dissecting different species of mosquito.
Hui Qing teaching us about how to identify a mosquito
Prof Cynthia He sampling mosquito larvae from Dillenia leaf litter
Prof Nalini Puniamoorthy sampling mosquito larvae from Nepenthes pitcher plants
Huiqing and Yee Ther setting up CDC CO2 trap for trapping adult mosquitos that seek out CO2 to look for bloodmeals
Students from Prof He's lab and new incoming students to Reprolab all learning how to identify different species of mosquitoes.
Everyone sorting out the mosquitos that we obtained from the traps!
Dr Nalini dissecting adult male mosquitos
Hillary dissecting adult female mosquitos
Hui Qing showing the dissection process and how to obtain the reproductive tissue and salivary glands
Theodore and Yee Ther dissecting adult female mosquitos
Everyone engrossed in the mosquito dissection process!
A successful 2-day mosquito workshop! Thanks to Hui Qing and Tze Xuan for their hard work in preparing for this!
