Ask the Biologist

The Shasta Mosquito and Vector Control District Biologist, John Albright, is happy to answer questions (if he knows the answer and time permits) on virtually biology topic.  Though his current area of authority and expertise is mosquito biology, he has a B.S. degree in microbiology with a chemistry minor, did seasonal silviculture work for the U.S. Forest Service, and has had eleven years experience working for the Shasta County Department of Agriculture, Weights, and Measures.  He is co-chair of the Shasta County West Nile Virus Task Force and secretary of the Shasta Beekeepers' Association.

If you would like for John to come talk to your classroom, club or other group please indicate that in the form below.  If you would like to arrange a field trip to the District facilities please indicate that below or call to set up a time.

To submit a biology question, please fill in the form/questionnaire below.  John will answer questions from anybody if he has time; but District residents will be given priority, and his workload can significantly delay his response time between May and October.  If you want to call John directly he can be reached at (530) 365-3768 between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 3:30 P.M. (Pacific time) Monday through Friday.  You may also call the above number or click this link if you wish to submit a service request.  The form below cannot be used to submit a service request to the District.
