  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.

  6. I’m not really a cat person anymore… but if I have to choose between the massive patches of #mosquito bites these mosquitoes seem to cause nowadays and having every cat in the neighbourhood chase after me, I’m definitely choosing the cats.

  9. Every borough, town, and city should have a webpage that discourages residents from subscribing to those frequent (every 2-3 week) insecticide applications from companies like Mosquito Shield, Mosquito Joe, and Mosquito Squad. As an example, here's the blurb from Media, Pennsylvania, the town next to me. #mosquito #mosquitoes #spraying #pollinators #insects #pesticides #government #mediapa #delco #pennsylvania #pyrethroids mediaborough.com/446/Mosquito-

  10. Grrrr. Yet another peaceful morning disrupted by the whine of a gas-powered insecticide sprayer. They come to my neighbor's house every two weeks during the summer. I don't understand why this is legal. #insecticides #pollinators #nature #pyrethroids #insecticide #chemicals #pesticides #mosquito #mosquitoes

  11. Express Rail Link (#ERL) is informing the public that they will be running combined #KLIAEkspres and #KLIATransit service on Sunday, 6 August 2023 from 5:00 am to 7:00 am to carry out #mosquito #fogging exercise at the #train platforms at #KLSentral.

    At KL Sentral Station, all #departures and #arrivals will be through KLIA Ekspres ARRIVAL platform. The combined #service #frequency will be 30 minutes. Normal services will resume after the completion of the fogging exercise.

  12. I just noticed that the Borough of Media, Pennsylvania, has a fantastic webpage urging residents to stop spraying pyrethroids on their yards (i.e., stop paying companies such as Mosquito Shield and Mosquito Squad to do it). The page also encourages people to report instances of pesticide drift from the target yard into neighboring yards. All towns should adopt a policy like this. #mosquito #mosquitoes #spraying #pesticides #pollinators #bees #insects #pyrethroids #delco #pennsylvania #BeeCityUsa

  13. My neighbor just had her property fogged by Mosquito Shield, one of those outfits that uses gasoline-powered foggers to coat foliage with insecticides every few weeks. I can always smell it, which means that the chemicals have drifted into my yard and are now killing my insects. Makes my blood boil. Here's my post about pyrethroid sprays in case you can share with friends who are considering signing up for these services. #insects #insecticides #mosquitoes #mosquito #pyrethroids #chemical #pesticides #pollinators #nature
