Kelly THYS

Next up are interviews with the 6 winners of the Brilliant Marine Research Idea grants 2023: @JadonBeerlandt, Bram Martin, @michielperneel & @DujardinJens, Kelly Thys, @ISemmouri en Joëlle De Weerdt. Thanks to @DEMEgroup. #VMSD24

Earlier this week we heard from Kelly Thys who attended the 7th Pan African Fish & Fisheries Association conference at the University of Marien Ngouabi, Brazzaville (Republic of the Congo), thanks to the the #FSBITravelGrant. We also supported Miriam Shigoley's attendance 👇

Proud to see @KellyThys_, a PhD student co-supervised with @KmentovaNikol from @BiTE_UHasselt @CMK_Uhasselt @uhasselt & @MaartenVSte from @RBINSmuseum, present on monogenean flatworms failing to diverge and the link with the host gill environment at #XVISFB !

The BMRI winners for 2023 are: Jadon Beerlandt (KULeuven), Bram Martin (UGent), Michiel Perneel & Jens Dujardin (VLIZ), Kelly Thys (UHasselt), Ilias Semmouri (UGent), and Joëlle De Weerdt (VUB). Congratulations to all the winners! #VMSD23 Thanks to @DEMEgroup and @AnteaGroup_BE

1st yr PhD & publishing in a top parasitological journal! @KellyThys_​ sheds light on genetics of the flatworm Dolicirroplectanum lacustre & suggests a potential founder effect resulting from its introduction into Lake Victoria. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Honoured to be able to show the world of ecology our signature approach to historical fish collections together with one of the best parasitologists I know! @DrChelseaLWood @UW_SAFS @UW #collectionsareessential @BiTE_UHasselt @CMK_Uhasselt @uhasselt besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Proud of the team representing @BiTE_UHasselt @CMK_Uhasselt @uhasselt at the @ICOPAnhagen (including @Tiziana_Gobbin remotely)! #ICOPA2022 #ICOPAnhagen #collectionsareessential @KmentovaNikol @AJCruzLaufer @KellyThys_

In person conferences such as @ICOPAnhagen is not only about attending amazing sessions but also, very importantly, meeting up with old friends and making new ones. Great evening yesterday with the groups of @Bernd_AquatEcol @DrChelseaLWood & @MPM_Vanhove

Honoured to welcome @MollyMcDonough8 from @ChicagoState, @adamwferguson from @FieldMuseum and Stephan Koblmüller from @EcoEvoGraz @UniGraz to @BiTE_UHasselt @CMK_Uhasselt @uhasselt! Could not be prouder of my team. #collectionsareessential

Almost "full house" to discuss @Green_Darkie's PhD close to submission. Almost there! And then it is up to the jury... #zoology #biodiversity #flatwormsofinstagram #biodiversitypolicy #bioculturaldiversity @BiTE_UHasselt @CMK_Uhasselt @uhasselt @theNWU @NWU_AACRG @SimGeorgieva

Please let me introduce you two the morphotypes of Dolicirroplectanum lacustre infecting Lates niloticus in Lake Albert! Check out the rest of the story in our preprint! @KellyThys_ @MPM_Vanhove @BiTE_UHasselt @MaartenVSte @Phinnochromis biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Introduced "Victoria perch" is well-known, but did you ever ask if its monogenean parasites went through a founder effect en route? Also perhaps intrasp. hybrids in these diplectanid flatworms. @KellyThys_ 1st PhD MS! @BiTE_UHasselt @CMK_Uhasselt @uhasselt tinyurl.com/cvh86pcs

Lab meeting and research plans for 2022! @MPM_Vanhove @KellyThys_ @AJCruzLaufer @KmentovaNikol

Much appreciated visit and seminar given by Vercus Lumami Kapepula from Centre de Recherche en Hydrobiologie, DRC and UCLouvain!
