Just completed the 5th International Workshop on Symbiotic Copepoda in Malaysia! Gained hands-on skills in copepod taxonomy, field collection, specimen dissection, and parasite data analysis plus presented my Lepeophtheirus ID key project.

Just gave my first presentation as a PhD student!
I shared my work on developing an interactive identification key for Lepeophtheirus, a genus of parasitic copepods and brought along a 3D printed model to bring these tiny parasites to life.

Just a quick introduction post: Im Javi, I am currently a PhD student at UCONN studying parasitic copepods! I am passionate about mentoring, science communication. I have a podcast highlighting LGBTQ+ scientists. In my free time I play video games, rewatch my favorite shows/animes and drink coffee 💜
