I found a new blog featuring
a parasite of the day and I couldn't be more excited to share it with folk! My favorite parasite is featured on Jan 8th,
Giardia lamblia. I devoted my entire graduate career (and a portion of my foot for the tattoo) to this little guy. Its awesome and has been on this planet long before people. Check it:

I'll be excited to see if they feature
Trypanosoma cruzi or
Trypanosoma rangeli both of which we've started working with in the lab. Below is an awesome pic of a trypanasome we isolated from a local pack rat:

Dude, science is so freaking awesome!

I'm totally digging the Giardia picture. It totally has a smirk, a creepy 'stache, long (creepy) hair, and one dangly earring.
