Week of July 25th

It was quiet around the office this week! Many people were out on vacation, and I mostly worked on compiling data for the tick distribution map. Emily and I also picked up the tick kits from all the CCE offices last week, so I sorted and put away the materials this week. The Tick Blitz supplies will be stored in the drawers pictured until next year!

Tick Blitz kit contents!
Trays of mosquito larvae.

When I wasn’t working on Tick Blitz data, I helped Jake sort shipments of mosquito larvae into containers of 200. These larvae were sent in from Virginia, and will be used for studying insecticide resistance.
