Yeah, this is a good example of what science and engineering are for. That title reads like it’s pro-mosquito. I don’t think they’re an important part of the food chain, so I was baffled for a little bit. After reading further, I was relieved to find it was anti-mosquito/malaria. Perhaps science hasn’t gone far enough. I’d be happy to see the extinction of mosquitoes in my lifetime. We as a species have killed off many before, but this is probably the taxonomic family that most deserves to die.
