Now we know when we have the best chance of collecting nymph #ticks for demo - at night, in November, when it's damp! Wonderful study - big thanks to the persisting researchers. @hannahvineer.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/bior... Night hunting #cats need continued tick protection.

Our @ukri.org Helminth Eco-Health Hub kicks off in January, but is already receiving a lot of media attention. The Hub will bring together helminth researchers across various themes and includes opportunities for ECRs to network and access seed funding. Keep your 👀 out for further info to join us

Our beloved lab technician + tick ID expert, Alice (in the back), is leaving us this week to pursue her dream PhD in shark metagenomics. We managed to take her on a "goodbye" safari (and took lots of pictures of ticks on wildlife 🤣). Bittersweet, but I'm so happy for her!

Why do we model ticks/tick-borne disease? What insights can we get from modelling? Postdoc Adam Fisher breaks down his recent heartwater model, recorded for the Kgofa (tick) project meeting. Watch here: youtu.be/8JvwTFUAIoA?... Paper here: doi.org/10.1017/S003... Funding @ukri.org

I couldn't get us all in one room, but I managed to catch up with most of what we're lovingly calling "Team Tick" in Botswana and South Africa recently. Such a lovely group of people to work with!

When the Met Office shared that this summer was the hottest in UK records, the comment section was sadly all too familiar Over on Instagram, we took the opportunity to reshare a Reel debunking a common bit of misinformation about climate change, using the superb Climate Stripes graphic.

We were incredibly honoured to have the Botswana Minister for Lands and Agriculture open our @ukri.org Kgofa (tick) project meeting 2 weeks ago. It's a great feeling to be welcomed and receive genuine support from industry and policy-makers. Link to his speech below www.facebook.com/share/v/17Eq...

I've neglected Bluesky, so apologies for a flurry of posts to come! First up, sharing Miguel's **beautiful** infographic from our review of 'green' ruminant parasite control. Despite a huge network of colleagues working in this area (e.g. @envirant.bsky.social), there's still plenty more to do!
