Washington Post article on gene drive

There are several big news items recently, a lot of it corresponding to the IUCN conference here in Honolulu, that I need to post updates about. (And I have fallen behind in posting in general as the classes have started up this semester.) I just returned from a "mosquito meeting" on the Big Island, more about that soon. One big item in the lab is that I am going to change our lab strategy temporarily from underdominance to Wolbachia with the mosquitoes (and more about that soon). For the moment here is a link to a Washington Post article by Chelsea Harvey who called, interviewed me by phone late last week, and quoted me in the article.
