Northwestern Now
The common plant shows promise as a new natural insect repellent
New collaborative research from Northwestern University and Lund University may have people heading to their backyard instead of the store at the outset of this year’s mosquito season.
Often used as an additive for cat toys and treats due to its euphoric and hallucinogenic effects on cats, catnip has also long been known for its powerful repellent action on insects, mosquitoes in particular. Recent research shows catnip compounds to be at least as effective as synthetic insect repellents such as DEET.
But until now, the mechanism that triggered insects’ aversion to this common member of the mint family was unknown. In a paper published today in the journal Current Biology, a team of researchers from Northwestern and Lund universities report finding the underlying receptors that contribute to the mosquitoes’ aversive reaction.

And then there were nine.
Five months after the Erie Downtown Development Corp. announced the first eight restaurant concepts accepted for the Flagship City Food Hall, the ninth and final vendor has been named.
Noodlelove, an Asian fusion concept, might not seem like an obvious choice for the 150-seat food hall that s under construction along State Street and North Park Row, at the site of the former Sherlock s and Park Place taverns.
Noodlelove opened two years ago on Mott Street in Manhattan and was followed last summer with a COVID-inspired outdoor-dining popup called Umma.
The restaurant has received favorable coverage in the New York Times. One of the dishes at Umma, Seoul Alle Vongole, was ranked by the Gothamist, an online publication of New York Public Radio, as one of the best new dishes of 2020.
