Grand Challenge: Ask Me Anything with Dr Cameron Webb and Dr Toby Mills
Grand Challenge AMA
At this Ask Me Anything you'll have the opportunity to pick the brains of people at the forefront of mosquito interventions to help you develop and refine a potential solution for submission to the 2021 Grand Challenge.
The University of Newcastle’s Grand Challenge is an annual initiative with the aim of encouraging multi-disciplinary teams to propose and develop potential solutions to a complex challenge. The most compelling submissions will receive funding and support to advance their idea.
Event is free but registrations essential.
This year the Grand Challenge has focused on furthering our capability to trap mosquitoes in a more targeted and practical way. There is one problem statement to this Challenge. Proposals should include responses to the following question:
- How might we improve trap designs used to collect adult mosquitoes?
