The multidisciplinarity of our team has enabled us to take at heart the human practice aspect of our project. Indeed, all along the project, we did our best to complement scientific advances with Human practice activities. It was very interesting to see these activities and our knowledge getting more and more extensive and deepened as the science part of the project progressed. This aspect helped us take our project “outside the lab” and implement it as thoroughly as possible into the “real world”. Indeed, we conducted research to find out if there was a need for a mosquito trapping and analyzing system and quickly found out that yes, our system would be a great asset in the fight against emerging arboviruses. Then, in the making of the project, we worked closely with experts in the field (EID, CIBU, Anna-Bella Falloux…) in order to make sure our project best met the needs of the population, and finally, we took into account current ethical issues to build a system that would be in compliance with ethical standards (in particular by working with synenergene). We hope to see mos(kit)o live long and prosper! For this purpose, all along the project we documented our research and advance in a way that would make it possible for a future team (or someone else), to benefit from our research and build upon our project, in every aspect of our work (science, design and human practice). On the day we went to a middle school to organize a simulation of our project with the students. They were really interested in our project: they really invested their efforts in the project simulation, and they came up with great ideas for the design of our hardware part. In a broader way, the public who was introduced to our project was usually quite impressed of what we had achieved in so little time, and how such a multi-disciplinary could work so well together. So hopefully, our team can have served as an inspiring example to others!
