Howdy folks,

Our co-authored publication on new cusk eel parasites with former student, Dr. Chuck Blend, was just published in the most recent issue of Acta Parasitologica! Dr. Blend worked in my laboratory as a MS student and post-doc on various research projects involving deep sea fish and birds.
