SUMMARY:Insect Hour: The Mosquito Diaries
DESCRIPTION:Insect Hour: The Mosquito Diaries\n\n\n\nWelcome the second talk in our online series exploring Grand Challenges in Entomology. \n\n\n\nInsect Hour will be held every second Wednesday of the month* from 1pm-2pm (UK time). All are welcome – talks are free to attend and open to both RES members and non-members. \n\n\n\nRegister to attend below\, grab a cuppa or sandwich and join us on Zoom!

Responding to the growing challenge of infectious diseases\, antimicrobial resistance\, and emerging pandemics\, iiCON brings together academic\, industry\, and clinical partners in a £360 million programme to transform the discovery and supply of much-needed anti-infectives and accelerate their journey to market. \n\n\n\n\n\nJanet was a senior technical advisor on Neglected Tropical Diseases for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and PI on projects in excess of £370 million including the BMGF funded Innovative Vector Control Consortium\, the ERDF funded Formulations programme and the BMGF funded Visceral Leishmaniasis Elimination programme. \n\n\n\nShe was appointed Director of LSTM in 2001 and stepped down on 1st January 2019. She was awarded a CBE for services to the Control of Tropical Disease Vectors in 2012. Janet is also a Past President of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
