Malaria has always been a huge problem in Africa. In 2018, there were an estimated total of 228 million cases of malaria worldwide. A whopping 93% of these cases (over 212 million) come from Africa. With that in mind, scientists have been very serious in combating the insects that spread the disease — the mosquitoes.
An international team of researchers has used lidar to track mosquito activity levels in Africa as part of an effort to combat malaria. In their paper published in the journal Science Advances, the group describes how the lidar was used and what was learned from their study.

what kind of engineers are they? Not using the metric system *scoff*.....lol
great video!!!
I too have cats and can relate-although not groovin on the spinning of the cats- not good for them at all, and the tuna thing although they love it, not good for them either. Other than that....A+!
and on the other side, i could easily say that cat owners who smoke are slowly killing their felines, too. and owners who let their cats outside because they have that much more of a chance to get hit by a car or run away. and the food that they eat has antibiotic residues and such as allowed by the FDA. so really, we're all slowly killing our pets anyway.
