Did we accidentally design our cities for mosquitoes?
Ultramarine: the science of our oceans and waterwaysShow Notes
Mosquitoes are usually framed as pests and disease carriers. But what if they are simply one of the most successful species at adapting to the environments we have built?
In this episode Ultramarine, David Boldeman is joined by medical entomologist Dr Véronique Paris to explore the hidden water systems inside our cities and how they shape mosquito life.
Véronique is a Research Fellow in Medical Entomology and Vector Population Control, at the University of Melbourne: https://www.instagram.com/mozzienique/
