Truly delighted to receive this prestigious honour - thanks to all friends and colleagues who have shared the journey! #schistosomiasis #BeatNTDs
Very proud that our colleague David Rollinson @Bulinus was made OBE in the King's Birthday Honours. His science & leadership on #NeglectedTropicalDisease parasitic schistosomiasis makes a big difference to healthcare collaboration in many countries nhm.ac.uk/press-office/press…
Fantastic!
First of our new #3dprint models of a snail transmitting #schistosomiasis is finished! This #Biomphalaria glabrata will be used for sci com and teaching.
Open for the whole process⬇️

Shocked to hear this extremely sad news about dear Rodrigo
Enjoying Korean hospitality following the successful IRSP meeting @TilakChandraNa3 @StothardRuss @elimin8schisto
4th International Symposium on Parasite Resource kicked off today. Lots of interest in our paper on Parasites in a Changing World including the NHM schistosomiasis collections (SCAN) and One Health studies in Senegal. @elimin8schisto @BeatNTDs @NHM_London @SchistoSSR
So well deserved!
Profound thank you @aaas today for their Scientific Freedom & Responsibility Award. So nice after hard-fought decades shaping new vaccines for poverty-related neglected diseases while combating expanding antivaccine activism and antiscience aggression

Today is #WorldNTDDay. In 2023 we focus on the importance of investing in #BeatNTD programmes to reach the #NTDRoadMap2030 goals.
So what investment do we need to end #Schistosomiasis?

#ICOPAnhagen don’t miss the schisto genome session organised by @elimin8schisto today! Also schisto social tonight at taphouse.dk
ICOPA going well - the halls and lecture rooms are buzzing, great to meet so many friends and colleagues passionate about parasites!
If you are interested in parasite diversity this could be a great job for you!

I just added my name to the global call against war and nuclear weapons by the Dalai Lama, IPPNW and other Peace Prize Laureates. Sign now & RT, and they'll deliver our voices to key leaders from the Russian Federation and NATO. #NoWar fb.avaaz.org/campaign/en/no_…
New genomic insights into the parasite causing urogenital schistosomiasis in Africa. Great work @stroehli @neily1101
Great to get this one out. Thanks to @stroehli for bringing it all together!

Take a look at these!
Hey y'all, it's Real Trematode Hour again and we've put together another themed online articles collection for it!
This themed collection features articles that report on the wide variety of digenean trematode flukes that are found in snails!
