Which is wild because I never learnt this in med school! We just stopped at the main 4 and ovale was just 'ovale' to us not the two distinct species that I just apparently have learned about now on wikipedia

Oh neat yeah! I remember your mosquito breeding/ cultivating posts haha. But really glad people work on ovale too. Malariae and falciparum get a lot of spotlight and for good reason but people also do suffer a lot under ovale's grasp too.

the loathsome life cycle boys.... v cool one. do you work on the main plasmodium malariae or one of its nasty siblings

once i saw the pencil it was all over. the other almost as bad one is wuchereria which... dont look at what it does in your eye (they made me look at pictures :( )

oh my least favourite worm that causes issues is dracunculus. i dont like that one. i dont like its choices at all

oh i love the horrible worms we learn about in med school. why do they travel through the lungs to get to the gut. why do they do that

.... c elegans......... the loathsome worm....

i read the description of what this book is based on and this couldnt have been released at a more topical time. cannot wait to find time to see it

we miss you winnie.... shes looking all googly and cute in the great cat hereafter

kasing lung's art is actually really really like tove jannsons

So excited for you to take on Harari!!!! I have Sapiens (was given it as a teen and stopped in the middle lol) - probably need to read it again before I dive in to this episode
