The answer to the previous

is gay (or else he was sashaying to keep his noisy shoes from clacking on the wood floor?). Had an interesting muse on the evolutionary biology of women's gaydar. Hypothesis: women's gaydar should be more highly developed than gay men's gaydar, since we have reproductive capacity with our preferred partner.

Other discoveries this evening:

1) Resistance modeling is very complicated, but the models are very simple.
2) You need a lot of tools and effort to monitor large-scale malaria control programs, and even then, you might need to resort to massive drug administration to get the results you want.
3) Test kits for insecticide resistance will revolutionize program planning, if only Liverpool can produce them
4) Paul Eggleston is a master at explaining mosquito transgenic technology. I can almost explain to you how it works! Not that I think it's a great idea, however.
5) Mwanza, Tanzania has been out of SP for IPT for over six months, and none of the presentations at this conference know anything about how to fix that.
6) Matt Damon may become our newest malaria advocate.

Tomorrow are my favorite sessions, so I am skipping the bar and sleeping instead.
