Goodbye, May! 👋 We're turning the page on another stunning image from the Irish Society for Parasitology (ISP) calendar, captured by our PhD researcher @aistevit.bsky.social 📸 But June brings something even more exciting - just 10 days to go until the Annual ISP Meeting! 🎉 See you soon in Dublin! 🤗

Last week, we had a fantastic time at the 4th Pathogen Biology Ireland Conference 2026. Our group showcased ongoing research during the parasitology session, highlighted by Dr. Sheila Donnelly’s keynote talk on host–parasite interactions. Thanks to the organisers for a great day of science and BBQ.
