RE: Google will release 64 million mosquitoes to wipe out mosquitoes/Google soltará 64 millones de mosquitos para acabar con los mosquitos

This is a fantastic piece! I think many of your readers may have been left wanting more after the first few sentences. You presented the scientific aspect of this project very well! The aspect of breeding with A.I. Mosquitoes and robot sorting is very interesting, having the ability to sort out males that have a Wolbachia infection and only release male mosquitoes is a much safer way to control their population as well as species targeting also provides a safer alternative to using pesticides for mosquitoes. I also think it is important that you mentioned both the positive side (by decreasing rates of West Nile Virus transmission) and the negative side (within ecosystems - i.e. potential impact on these ecosystems and the requirement for continued monitoring). I appreciate that you presented both sides of the fence, giving your readers a fair amount of information to think about. Overall your article presented an even-handed approach with a thought-provoking result. Thank you for sharing this scientific breakthrough!
