Nuffield Science Bursary contributes to Midge Study

APS is currently sponsoring a student through the Nuffield Science Bursary Scheme, which allows post-16 science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) students across the UK to get an insight into the world of scientific research and development during their summer holidays. APS’s sponsored student has been investigating trapping techniques for potential midge vectors of bluetongue virus, which is a highly topical subject at present. The project has combined field studies with the molecular analysis of midge catches.
