Great week at #MPM2026! Feeling inspired by all the amazing science. Shared a poster on our lab's in vivo model of Chagas disease, and how we are investigating the obscured biology of T. cruzi. Looking forward to foster great connections. It was a fantastic meeting @parasitesrule.org!

Here's a scanning electron #microscope image of an avian (bird) #schistosome larva penetrating human skin and causing "swimmer's itch."

Check out all the spikes decorating its forked tail! OUCH!!
