10/11/2024: We were awarded a Faculty of Science Outreach Grant for our activities aimed at promoting knowledge of and engaging the public with parasitism! Thanks to members of the lab for their hard work in developing the activity cards for the microscope demonstrations and hands-on activities (especially Olwyn, Cameron, and Sidney). Participants will now walk away with stickers depicting the parasite that best matches their personality, and take their own pictures of parasites!
