Day 2 of the British Society for Parasitology #ParasitesOnline21 local workshop with Nico J Smit, NWU_WRG and Herps & Friends @ NWU. Having focused predominantly on freshwater ecology, I am learning a lot about the interesting world that is parasitology #TheMoreYouKnow

A privilege to showcase our research project on #Schistosomiasis at the British Society for Parasitology #ParasitesOnline21. Big thanks to everyone helping me make this project on a #NeglectedTropicalDisease possible Nico J Smit Herman Le Roux @FarinaLindeque NWU_WRG SAIAB WRC

Fact: The Covid-19 vaccine was not magically developed in under a year. It is based on many years of research Fact: More people die from Covid-19 than from the vaccine for it. #COVID #TheMoreYouKnow #ScienceNotFiction

Just because you can't figure out how ancient civilizations built stuff, doesn't mean they got help from Space Aliens.

What have we been searching for? Snails of course! Specifically those that transmit schistosomiasis. And what a success it was! Stay tuned to find out if we found the parasites too... #schistosomiasis #schisto_ntds #NeglectedTropicalDiseases

My latest research on the impact of #Drought and #ClimateChange on #FreshwaterEcology has been published with Springer Nature in Hydrobiologia. Check oit the link for more information: rdcu.be/cCnMH NWU_WRG Nico J Smit Victor Wepener

The 23rd WaterNet Conference at Sun City Resort started with a bang yesterday. Let's see what day 2 has in stall #FreshwaterScience #WaterNetConference #Research

Congrats Felleng for giving your first ever talk at the #WaterNet conference. She spoke on the effects of water quality on schistosomiasis vectors. This is part of her WRC funded MSc. #Schistosomias #NTDs #WaterQuality #MScResearch WRC NWU Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management NWU_WRG

We start the final day of the WaterNet conference with a presentation by Prof Victor about using a new tool to assess emerging contaminants in the environment #WaterNet #WaterResearch #Ecotox NWU_WRG NWU Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences 23rd WaterNet/WARFSA/GWP-SA Symposium

The best left for last ⁦WaterNet⁩ symposium. Lizaan de Necker⁩ presenting the findings of her ⁦WRC⁩ funded project on schistosomiasis and vector distribution in the face of climate change ⁦Nico J Smit⁩ ⁦Wynand Malherbe⁩

And just like that the 23rd WaterNet/WARFSA/GWP-SA Symposium conference is over! Thank you very much for this week and the lovely final eveing #WaterNet #FreshwaterResearch NWU_WRG

Learning about the wonderfull world of freshwater invertebrates from our NWU_WRG and SAIAB post doc Lizaan de Necker Our community out-reach in Limpopo of our WRC funded project on the impact of climate change on balharzia vector snail distribution NWU Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management

Our Limpopo #SnailDay2023 is a wrap. Driving back today we can reflect on a hugely successful outreach. Big thank you for financial support from the WRC the NWU Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management goodies for the children from NWU Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences and Lizaan de Necker & @FarinaLindeque for organizing it all

Exciting news! We recently hosted a WRC workshop to teach children about #Schistosomiasis and #RiverHealth in South Africa. Check out this news article for more information: news.nwu.ac.za/snail-day-rais… @FarinaLindeque Nico J Smit NWU_WRG #ScienceEducation #NTDs

📢 Excited to dive into the world of killifish and represent NWU_WRG at the #Notho23 conference! 🐠 From their unique life cycles to stunning colors, it's time to learn the secrets of these fascinating creatures #KilliScience #Day1

Attending the 38th IPS Symposium, focusing on aquatic parasites and their role in our environment. What a great opportunity to learn more about these weird and wonderful creatures and share our work on #Schistosomiasis #IPS2023 NWU_WRG Nico J Smit WRC

Research Proposal writing fun in the South African winter sun! Developing new project ideas with our colleagues from Uni Duisburg-Essen @unidue.bsky.social Great colab between NWU Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management , NWU_WRG and labs of @Bernd_AquatEcol , ᴀʟᴇx ᴘʀᴏʙꜱᴛ and @zwu_ude (amongst others).
