Episode 15: Please no Genie McGene Face, infertile invasive mozzies, and science digest

Summary: Get your fly swats out (or your sleepy cheeks) because this episode researchers Kate Tepper and Gavin Volpato join Jesse to chat about our project to release sterilised male mosquitoes to drown-out an invasive mozzie species responsible for dengue fever and Zika. We also do a slapdash digest through the last fortnight's science news, and then speak with Dr Cameron Stewart about the discovery of a vital immunity gene and the parlous quest to have the public name it. Get your single-celled, Wolbachia jokes ready because you're about to have a ball. Amendments: •Sorry for the audio quality in the 'science news digest' segment-it was recorded before we resolved our audio issues. •Amendment: Researchers found prehistoric tools in China, not human remains, which suggest an exodus from Africa up to 2 million years ago-the oldest evidence of humans outside Africa.
