RE: Is Dengue Fever Coming to a Neighborhood Near You? Or, A Tale of Two Mosquitoes

Lovely writing here as well! I kinda see a new style developing. Literary. But journalistic too. Hemingwayan in the brevity of its to-the-point sentences.

Love the mosquitoes inserted in the text, too!

Sad subject matter, though :( Is there no hope? Other than mating/hybridizing them? What eats the most mosquitoes? Bats? Do we need more bats? Please can we get some more bats! Or mosquito-zapping lasers, perhaps?

Hi there :)
Thanks for the kudos on my writing style. I think my true self is peeking through. I'm sort of a hybrid, creative writer/history buff/science enthusiast. It's safer to write about objective stuff, like science, than to put myself out there with subjective material. But the separate inclinations bleed into each other, don't they?
As for those dang mosquitoes: releasing sterile males into the environment is one technique. Of course, we never know what sort of ripple effect that sort of profound intervention in nature will have.
Waiting for your next blog....speaking of which, I believe your previous blogs may bleed into my next one :)

Oh, someone is preparing a sex differences post?! My next one has the provisional heading 'Cuming of Age: the Boys who Drink Semen to Become Men'. I challenge you to beat that title 😄

I would never try to beat your post, especially that title :) But I do think you'll see the relevance of my next topic--if I ever get the blog out. First I have to understand what I'm talking about:)
