If you never petted a bumblebee you are seriously missing out. Go do it. Be gentle. Share the feelings.

Also not this one.

Contemplating my tulips in my upcycled @bspparasitology.bsky.social beer bottles from the Spring meeting in Aberystwyth in 2018 ❤️🥰

I got a different note on my first attempt at accessing it, but now it does not even go anywhere.

NIH recent news suggests this is not just maintenance.

It has been a while since I last used those cookie cutters :)

My spouse is trying to make baby 3D printed cages for me.
Prototype 1 ☑️

Went to a second hand shop in Basel, look at what I found!

Mum's visiting Basel and I took her to #kunstmuseumbasel to see an exhibition on her favourite paintor - Paula Rego. I got particularly drawn to this tapestry.
Is that a mosquitoe?!

Success!! 🩸🦟

Have I mentioned how awesome @swisstph.bsky.social is?
So proud to be able to work in this safe and wonderful environment ❤️🙏🏼

I don't usually share very many pictures, but this was such an outstanding weekend, I want to remember this for years to come! I was so honoured to be part of this and share the stage with other passionate talented parasitologists. It was really great to meet old and new friends :)

Do you think I should leave one of these at the mini hotel library?

I tried making one of these "starter packs" for Parasitology peeps :)

Feel free to extend the gap!!

Look at these cuties ❤️

Anyone interested in a different type of pet?
Happy to ship eggs as well :)

Also have some inexpectata and thai babies :)

Extremely excited to meet former colleagues from my PhD, other BoP 2019 @mblscience.bsky.social alumni, old friends and colleagues, as well as many new!

Today we had a fantastic guest lecture by Prof Petr Volf from Charles University Prague at @swisstph.bsky.social

Sand flies are absolutely fascinating!
