Scientists have long known that mosquitoes can detect octenol, but this latest finding explains in greater detail how Ae. Aegypti - and possibly other mosquito species - accomplish this.

Did you know that A.R.Rahman was a jury member at the Oscars? Well, I for sure didn't. But good to know that when he's not competing for an oscar, he's actually involved in the process of chosing oscar winners. This is what he had to say,“Being a jury member is a very tough job.
