Climate change and the rise of mosquitoes
Summer’s just around the corner, and as soon as the temperature rises, mosquitoes come out to play. But what will happen as climate change warms up our cooler seasons? Will mosquitoes be a problem even in winter? And how much do we really know about them? In this talk we’ll take a deep dive with Cameron Webb into the world of mosquitoes and discover where they come from, why they bite, and what climate change means for our relationship with the mosquito. He might also throw in a few tips about how to avoid getting bitten!
