Mosquitoes might be the world’s most dangerous animal, but they are also a cool (and creepy) tool for encouraging an interest in biology. Dr Aidan O’Donnell and Dr Petra Schneider use their research to help pupils experience being a scientist and improve teachers’ confidence with STEM. Reece Lab on Tour focuses on rural schools with less access to universities or scientists, providing hands-on activities supported by professional learning for teachers and resource boxes.
