Even if mosquitoes make your skin crawl—or you think of them as nothing more than the flying, biting pests we all can’t stand—you'll be surprised by how fascinating they really are. In this episode of Bio Bytes, Dr. Laura Duvall, Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences at Columbia University, joins Celine to explore the surprising science behind mosquito behavior. Together, they dive into how blood-feeding and mating trigger long-lasting changes in female mosquitoes, and how neuropeptide signaling shapes their biting and reproductive cycles. You’ll learn how internal physiological states guide behavior in ways that echo patterns in other animals (even us), and how this knowledge could lead to next-generation tools for vector control. The episode also tackles the ethical questions that arise in translating lab findings into public health interventions. Join us to rethink what you know about mosquitoes and learn more about neuroscience, global health, and why mosquitoes really bite. Hosted by Celine Cotran.…

In this episode of Bio Bytes and our ongoing Bench to Bedside series, we learn about Dr. Meg Rosenblatt, Chair of the Department of Anesthesiology at Mount Sinai Morningside and West and Professor of Anesthesiology. She is recognized as the first person to deliver 20% intralipid therapy to treat local anesthetic systemic toxicity in a patient. We explore how she became a leader in anesthesiology, what it means to turn a case report into a career-defining moment, and how she balances clinical work, education, and leadership. Dr. Rosenblatt also reflects on the evolving challenges in the U.S. healthcare system, the importance of mentorship, moments that have most profoundly shaped her career, and offers practical advice. Whether you're an undergraduate student, medical student, practicing physician, or just curious about the people behind life-saving innovations, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the mind and heart of a physician-leader committed to excellence in care and education.
