Here at @BSPparasitology, I will be live-tweeting today from the Veterinary Parasitology session at Appleton Hall 2 & from 11:30 am-13:00 PM, from the Protists 5 session: Genomics & Evolution at McEwan Hall! So I will retweet from parallel sessions! Beautiful #BSP2023 final day! 
Beginning #BSP2023 Day 4 and opening our Veterinary Parasitology session today, is Dr Lynsey Melville (taking over from Fiona Kenyon) of @MoredunComms who is telling us about "Making #roundworm data ewe-niversal for all". #parasitology
Dr Melville of @MoredunComms tells us about her research in monitoring the development of anthelmintic resistance in the treatment of gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep, particularly focusing on Nematodirus battus resistance to benzimidazoles: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #BSP2023
Day 3 of #BSP2023 begins today with our @SPPIRITnetwork ECR session! SPPIRIT is an excellent ECR organisation for parasitologists working in Scotland, but all ECRs will benefit from the expertise today in publishing & attracting funding! #parasitology
Here are the talks for today's @SPPIRITnetwork ECR session at #BSP2023! A big thanks to @CambridgeUP who are here in person as sponsors (so visit their table!). They are publishers of the journal "Parasitology" & an original sponsor of the BSP! cambridge.org/core/journals/…
Our 1st talk at the #BSP2023 ECR session with @SPPIRITnetwork is from @StothardRuss, Parasitology Editor-In-Chief with tips on getting your manuscript 'in press'! There is also a webinar available with tips from @CambridgeUP at #parasitology
Elon's mother was #Canadian.
Did she, like #Justin's mother, get herself impregnated by a #Communist leader???
Official history makes out that #MaoZedong was some random peasant, but #British and #Jesuit schemers had been sowing wild oats in #China for generations previously.

This is the cement that "Built America".
But How?
When 'America' didn't even INVENT [read: rediscover] Natural Cement until most of these #Tartarian buildings were made?
Lets start with some chronology in, so-called-'Rome'
#Pliska with #RomanCement, 700 years AFTER Rome 'fell' and "officially" had already "Lost" the technology.
But here we are with #Pliska, and the #Ologies have no excuse how this is possible, this was built 700 years after 'Rome Fell', 'in the style of Rome' but NOT by Romans, built by Bulgarians, they say.
But that is impossible, they didn't HAVE the #RomanCement recipe.
The truth is, it is an Original Roman Structure, prescribed TO the Bulgarians 700 years later to enforce the fake Timeline [read: the added 1000 years]

Toxoplasma Gondii is a parasite which can infect many mammals and birds, but can only sexually reproduce inside cats. Its normal lifecycle is to be shed into the environment in cat faeces, from where it may be picked up by rodents and birds, which are then eaten by cats..
For most people, it causes only a mild flu-like illness, but during pregnancy it can harm the fetus.
