In the spring 2019, Journalist Bettina Illemann Larsen and photojournalist Benjamin Nørskov co-operated on an a large online BA-project about the fight against malaria. Their stories are now online at dr.dk – the Danish national broadcast station. The story about the use of gen-modified mosquitoes as the fight against malaria can be read here. The stories about scientist Paul Mabuka, who do research on mosquitoes and Daisy Hope Namusisi, who has to live with malaria can be read here.

The two colleagues have also made an English version of their project – suited for mobile phones. This version is more like the original BA-project.
