I haven't seen a thread specifically highlighting Black parasitologists so I wanted to start one (sorry if I missed 1). Please add anyone that I have missed! Also if you are a Black parasitologist & you have a paper/project that you want amplified please share & I will retweet!
@Black_Ecologist studies the microbiome of kissing bugs and the transmission of Chagas.
@rejoicePhD studies malaria & how host factors influence disease outcomes

I will be reading the work of these parasitologists over the next few days & I plan to incorporate some of these papers into my parasitology lectures for the fall semester. I encourage my fellow parasitologists to do the same!
Again, please let me know who else I should follow!
