I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday season!
Even Charles was in the spirit!
I wanted to share some new books I acquired over the holiday with you, I’m very lucky to have a family that encourages my interests.
From left to right:
No Bone Unturned by Jeff Benedict
Dr. Mütter’s Marvels by Cristin O’keefe Aptowicz
Illustrations of the Gross Morbid Anatomy of the Brain of the Insane (1908) by I.W Blackburn
A Forest of Kong’s by Linda as he’ll and David Freidel
Jungleland by Christopher Stewart
Today I learned:
So the University that I am attending, is one of only two universities in the US that has a forensic research institute AKA body farm
And apparently the institute takes on student volunteers who are waiting to meet requirements for internships!
I could not be more ecstatic at this possibility
I met with some very cool people today to discuss their new research project about parasite-animal-human relationships, which hopes to touch on social and biological anthropology, primatology, veterinary medicine, human medicine and others. It's genuinely one of the most amazing projects I've heard about recently and I'm thrilled to (hopefully) be a part of it.
For my fellow scientists, please suggest your favorite books, research papers, anything really on the subject of parasites from any point of view!! I'd really appreciate it.
