I am happy to have had the opportunity to present @SchistoSSR and our results on snail-schistosome compatibility at @EMOP2024 last week. Grateful for the insightful discussions that followed and very motivated to continue our work! #schistosomiasis #parasitology

An amazing delivery with @NHM_Explorers at The Natural History Museum over the past few days. Working with inspirational scientists, ecologists, activists & artists was such a pleasure. The year 12s involved gave me great hope to fight injustices and protect the planet 🌎 💚

Integrating ancient DNA evidence, historical records, osteological markers, and archaeological data can be a powerful combination to gain new insights into malaria genomics! Check out my recent BugBitten blog - blogs.biomedcentral.com/bugbitten/2024…

Fancy an interesting (if not slightly concerning) weekend read? Check out my recent blog on efforts to forecast zoonotic vector-borne disease risks under a changing climate - blogs.biomedcentral.com/bugbitten/2024…

One of my main motivations for founding Our World in Data was to overcome the mad reality in academia that much of the most important research and data is locked away behind paywalls. I wanted research and data to be a public good, accessible to *everyone*. If you find our work valuable, I would appreciate if you would pay us a little so that we can make good data and research accessible to everyone. ourworldindata.org/donate

In 2019, more than 3.3 million years of life were lost to ill-health, disability or early death because of parasitic neglected tropical diseases. While treatments are available, there may be hope for vaccines on the horizon. Read more: bit.ly/3vJ5KXY

Our high throughput molecular xenomonitoring protocol, that can be used to detect Schistosoma mansoni (and other Trematoda) infections in Biomphalaria, is now published in @crpvbd ! 🐌🧬 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Any recommendations for infection biology or general science-themed books? Thinking of non-technical writings (i.e. Brief History of Time), not textbooks. I've been reading lots of political/biographical books and feel like I'm neglecting what I actually work on!

Elated to have passed my PhD yesterday 🎉 Huge thank you to @TonyWalker1968, Aidan Emery, Scott Lawton and @JoWebster_Group - couldn't have asked for a better supervisory team, it's really been a pleasure! And thanks to Mike Rogan and J-C Nebel for a thoroughly enjoyable Viva!

Congratulations to Dr Dan Parsons who passed his PhD today on antigenic variation in schistosomes. It’s been a great pleasure to work with Dan during his PhD. I wish you all the best for your future research career Dan.

Check out my BugBitten blog highlighting some exciting work by @Sprague_Dan & colleagues on the development of a novel, highly promising compound (BZQ) with broad-spectrum efficacy against parasitic flatworms - definitely one to follow! blogs.biomedcentral.com/bugbitten/2023…
