Had a great time at the LSHTM research degree poster session. Some really exciting research in the session! 🧬 🧪 🪱 Attached some of my favourites. Amaya Bustinduy Schista! Study #schistosomiasis #FGS #genomics #ONT

Sad to be heading home after a brilliant few days at Moredun Research Institute on #UKRIFLF UK Research and Innovation work. Learnt a lot, did some cool experiments, collected and counted lots of worms, and gave a talk. Can’t wait to come back! The Moredun Foundation Wellcome Sanger Institute

Soil-transmitted parasitic worms infect 1.5 billion people globally, contributing to the cycle of poverty 🌍

Really interesting couple of weeks over in Geneva working with the World Health Organization (WHO) Department of control of Neglected Tropical Diseases, helping develop standardised procedures for countries aiming to validate having eliminated schistosomiasis as a public health problem.

What are the benefits of using #CitizenScience to monitor #Schistosomiasis snail 🐌 distribution? ATRAP 's work in 🇺🇬 shows reliable & unique data, high spatio-temporal resolution, and considerable cost-effectiveness in taking this approach. #BeatNTDs

Super excited to see the latest version of WormBase ParaSite released, number 19. An INVALUABLE resource for the helminth community. Congratulations to all involved in making it happen, and the continued vision, leadership and persistence of Matthew Berriman. 🥳
