Hot stuff, coming through! I've written a post about parasitic flukes which have been discovered living in various different animals at deep sea hydrothermal vent sites. #Invertebrate #MarineBiology 🧪 dailyparasite.blogspot.com/2025/04/bios...

Couldn't ask for a better first Bluesky post! Our new paper, "Pathogens and planetary change," is out now in @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social. We discuss the linkages between biodiversity loss + pandemics and how we can address these interconnected crises 🧪😷 Give it a read: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Wow! Our students never cease to amaze us! Alexia Hilber was awarded Best MS-level Student Oral Presentation at the Waterbird Society-Pacific Seabird Group meeting for her work on endoparasites of the invasive gray-headed swamphen, advised by Dr. Chris Blanar and Dr. Dave Kerstetter.

Starting the new year with a parasitological twist! Check out these wee oyster crabs (Pinnotheres ostreum?) recovered from our dinner blue point oysters. They're currently sitting in vodka awaiting transfer to my teaching collection! 🎉 ✨️ #parasitology #HappyNewYear
