  1. Meet the 2026 #IgNobel Prize winners

    It's that time of year again, when we learn which lucky #scientists are among the winners of the Ig Nobel Prizes. This year, the prizes honor research on designing the perfect splash-free #urinal ; using #mosquito #proboscises to "necroprint" tiny nozzles; studying composition rates of buried cotton #underwear and the #aerodynamics of a healthy nose-blow, among other highlights.

  7. 🦟 #Debug Project: because nothing screams "cutting-edge science" like waging #war on mosquitoes with an army of #sterile #pests. 🤖 Let's just hope they don't unionize and demand tiny pensions. 😂

    One-third of Cubans have contracted #mosquito-borne diseases this year, according to the Cuban Ministry of #PublicHealth: #dengue, #oropouche and #chikungunya. With over 42,000 cases reported across the country since July 2025, chikungunya was declared an epidemic in early November. 44 deaths from dengue and chikungunya have been reported, 29 of them children. The #health system is struggling against an outbreak that has spread due to a lack of resources.

    “This arbovirus wave is not happening in a vacuum. It arrives at a moment of severe economic strangulation," says Dr. Samira Addrey... #US sanctions cause billions of dollars in losses annually, depriving the health sector of fuel for ambulances and fumigation, reagents for diagnostics, and raw materials for #medicine.
