A starter pack for immunology’s wilder side 🦋🔥
#wildimmunology
I couldn't find one, so I decided to put together a starter pack of folk working on the evolutionary ecology of host-pathogen interactions, eco-immunology, or similar. I know I've missed many (sorry) so please share and let me know if you want to be added (or removed).

Congrats to Dr Issa Mshani for passing his PhD viva @uofgsbohvm.bsky.social today!
In his PhD, Issa developed new tools for #malaria surveillance at the Ifakara Health Institute, supervised by Fredros Okumu, @simonab.bsky.social and myself.
Thank you to examiners Dan Haydon and Carlos Chaccour.
See you there!
