To say this mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) was packed to the brim with parasites is an understatement. Found a lot of cool worms, and was able to get this video of one of them moving around the bowl!

Spent a day at the docks, got some worms in return and met new friends (including the tarpon!)

Last month, I got to work up and see a snapshot of the parasite community of this huge barracuda (Sphyraena argentea) given from one of my lab mates. Surprisingly little (relatively) endoparasites in the cuda!

What’s the best first step to getting a cubicle? A worm wall of course!

Mono from a yellow stingray (missing some organs, but still training my eyes) (yes the yellow stingray was named Gnocchi)

Hi everyone! I’m a current MS student studying combined effects of temperature and parasites. I’m also a team member of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s Growing Beyond Earth team. I’ll be sharing my parasite pictures and some space science stuff as well!!
