We hope to run #NematodeHunters again next fall #2022 so if you know a 4th grade teacher in PA who would be interested in bringing real biological research into their classroom please give this post a share! More info about Nematode Hunters can be found at https://t.co/zGz2Q3sKbY

It’s especially important to know how they react when they get sick. That’s why finding novel nematode viruses is important to not only the scientific community, but to everyone.
