[Arpita Kulkarni @ArpitaBKulkarni]

I've noticed a troubling trend among PhD+Postdocs: fear of openly sharing research or seeking help due to worries that it'll lead to co-authorship & stolen credit. This distrust, fueled by toxic leadership/PIs, threatens the essence & collab spirit needed for scientific progress

Interested in parasites, invasions, ecology, and evolution? Love trematodes 🧜‍♀️(don’t ask), snails 🐌, and ducks 🦆? I have openings for interested PhD students. Excited to chat! https://t.co/yCRol2FhZh please RT

[James O. Outa @OutaJames]

@ChahiBouguerche Healthy fish, happy fish....not exciting for you though

[James O. Outa @OutaJames]

@NicoJSmit1 Slightly a #Generalist. Greater focus on #Parasites, other #Symbionts, and a bit of #EnvironmentalToxicology.... The #Gastropods, #Bivalves and the #Fish side of things. My former 'love' is #AquaticMacrophytes.

[James O. Outa @OutaJames]

@godfreyotieno06 Yes Sir. I'm in Kenya.

[James O. Outa @OutaJames]

@ChahiBouguerche Happy birthday!!

[James O. Outa @OutaJames]

@MPM_Vanhove @pavementgeology @Paleourbana @UrbanPalaeo @JelleReumer @FossilesV This is the Kenyan 20 shilling coin: invasive species indeed!

[James O. Outa @OutaJames]

@ByersEcologyLab @WCPreisser Have you found any cercariaeum cercariae or metacercariae within the snail organs? Like Trevor has noted, it is likely that the rediae have ingested metacercariae of another species. Sequencing will help to ascertain this.

[James O. Outa @OutaJames]

@ChahiBouguerche @BAVet_Parasitol 1. Fasciola hepatica/gigantica 2. Schistosoma mansoni/haematobium 5. Monogenea and other monoxenous parasites 6. Nematodes/ Acanthocephalans? How bad is my guess work?

[James O. Outa @OutaJames]

@ChahiBouguerche Yes, for our beloved monogeneans🙂

[James O. Outa @OutaJames]

@ChahiBouguerche Hehe... I'm one of you. I like monogeneans very much...I just happen to love digeneans slightly more.

[James O. Outa @OutaJames]

@AnaSaruz @ChahiBouguerche @Helm_Soc @AlineAngelinaA1 @Plathelminthe4 @MPM_Vanhove @amirachaabene @enuotchy Monogeneans rule over nematodes and cestodes but not over digeneans...Hehe

[James O. Outa @OutaJames]

Abstract invasion...I guess some digeneans as well will be fun

[James O. Outa @OutaJames]

@ChahiBouguerche @Helm_Soc @AlineAngelinaA1 @Plathelminthe4 @MPM_Vanhove @AnaSaruz @amirachaabene @enuotchy I'm not a registered member yet. It would have been great to present some monogeneans or my favourite digenean larvae! Next time I'll be in.

[James O. Outa @OutaJames]

Invertebrate zoologists, parasitologists, we have got work to do!!

[James O. Outa @OutaJames]

@ChahiBouguerche Congratulations!!

[James O. Outa @OutaJames]

@Kev_Obiero Thanks Doc!
