Was wonderful presenting a wrap-up of my PhD thesis to the USyd Vet school @Sydney_Vet Thanks to everyone who came! And a special thanks to @Em_Francis and @phoebe_rivory for keeping my tea stocked these next few weeks before submission 🍵
Next in our CiPs2023 series in conjunction with @AS_Para at #PiP2024 we have @phoebe_rivory. Phoebe is a PhD student at @Sydney_Vet studying Angiostrongylus cantonensis aka rat lungworm 🪱🐀 and it's impacts on accidental dog hosts 🐕🧠

where are all the universities around the world who prided themselves on the principles of indigenous rights and empowerment? of equality and freedom? have they forgotten everything that they stand for? do academics and scholars only matter when they’re white?
Currently exploring Tenerife waiting in anticipation for the 7th international workshop on Angiostrongylus and Angiostrongyliais! https://t.co/srEzSTE0BF🐀🫁🪱My first international academic expedition woohoo 🛩️ 🇪🇸Can’t wait to see how it turns out 😬
A totally fun and fab presentation from @phoebe_rivory!

Angiostrongylus cantonensis (rat lungworm)🐀🪱 is transmitted to accidental hosts that eat infected molluscs 🐌..But larvae can spontaneously emerge from dead molluscs raising questions on whether contaminated drinking water is an important infection route https://t.co/drvlbhtXu0
