A severed mosquito proboscis can be turned into an extremely fine nozzle for 3D printing, and this could help create replacement tissues and organs for transplants.
I’ve linked to a decent write-up on Tom’s Hardware, but New Scientist covered it last week too.

I’m only in favor of this if the mosquito suffers mightily somewhere along the process.
I want it setup so the hot filament goes into its asshole and then out through the probiscus.
Now there’s a mental image.
The process does involve gaslighting and lying to their mosquito family
No no. I want them to know it was me.
One almost killed me. Dengue.
Good news! Brazil developed a single dose vaccine against dengue!! I don’t know when they’re going to start vaccinating, but the vaccine has been approved, it’s already tested and everything!
I’m currently living somewhere hot enough that the little pricks are a bother all year round.
I’m currently living in Canada where the ground has been hidden by snow for a month.
i was bitten by a mosquito outside yesterday.
They are getting stronger.
I’m currently living in Canada and we’ve seen two snowflakes this entire winter (they fell in October)
Lucky.
We have had full snow cover since mid-october here. But it has also been +3-5c most afternoons.
Although early snow often means warmer winter. And I can definitely handle the snow in QC better than the -40s I used to get in AB.
Why ja vol? Either ja, voll or jawoll.
