Missed another parasitology webinar? 😩

I built a page to fix that — a community list of free online seminars anyone can add to!

The @veupathdb.org user comments campaign at #MPM2025 yielded 200 user comments from 66 attendees! Thanks, contributors 💐

For example: a comment on gene cgd5_3570 on CryptoDB pointed out that GGC proteins exhibit male-specific expression according to single-cell RNA seq. Good to know!
