Talk at TEDx Youth@Maastricht at the United World College in Maastricht about the simple products we develop within our EU consortium and at In2Care in Wageningen.

In my presentation 'Malaria: The Biting Truth' I confront audiences with the gripping and harsh realities of malaria. By starting with some remarkable discoveries in the late 19th Century, I then walk through a century of successes and failures in the combat against malaria, richly augmented with video material. To end with the eye-opening reality that if we would learn better from the past, we could go much further today. I also presented novel methods developed by In2Care for malaria vector control in Africa.

Keynote lecture give at the 79th Annual meeting of the American Mosquito Control Association, in Atlantic City, NJ, USA. If we want to raise the global status of mosquito control as a primary means to curb disease transmission, then we need more drastic successes. Particularly in developing countries rife with malaria or dengue. Creative solutions are there, but to find them we need to leave our comfort zone and become 'out of the box' thinkers and do-ers. Challenging? Yes. Rewarding? For sure. So what would you do with 10 million? 

Keynote lecture at the Second Nordic Malaria Conference in Copenhagen. In 'Malaria: More biting truths', I spoke about the urgent need to control the trade in counterfeit anti-malaria drugs, about the necessity to valorise research findings and not use publications as end-point, and the critical need to move from chemical to biological control. But I also highlighted the dramatic successes of malaria control in Sri Lanka and Namibia, and talked about the importance of larval control in integrated vector management (using the example of the elimination of Anopheles arabiensis from Brazil, 70 years ago).
