Memories... And to think a couple of years ago I was just trying to find the larval stage of a parasite from snails and now I'm a graduate student going to my PhD on Parasitology. Always blessed to have such supportive enviroment at the Locke Lab. #myjourney #parasites #UPRM

Ever wondered where the Front Cover image of Parasitology comes from? The answer is YOU! Each year we open a competition where anyone can submit their parasite-themed art (drawings, photos, paintings, etc) to be considered as the following years cover art: https://t.co/fLVRvWMHJs

After taking water from Mayaguez, looking for parasites, was surprised by these guys!
Green hydra: Chlorohydra viridissima💚
Darker hydra: Hydra oligactis🧡
Invertebrates already reported in PR; part of the Cnidaria phylum (Felix Grana Raffucci,2008) #Hydra #biodiversity #ecology

Guess what I found while walking through my university (University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez campus)🔎💚🍄
The photo used to report it was in the morning. It changed its shape when I passed in the afternoon.
