Today's storyteller is Dr Emlyn Resetarits! She's an aquatic disease ecologist specializing in snails and their parasites, and currently doing a post doc at the University of Georgia. Today we talk all about her research studying aquatic snails and their parasites, including with California Horn Snail in California marshes, and marsh periwinkles in the salt marshes of the southeastern US. So I ask her all about snails, and parasites, and I learned that parasites castrate snails. So if you want to learn about snails and parasites, Emlyn is the expert and it was fun to learn from her! She's also one half of the brilliant hosts of the STEM Fatale Podcast, which tells the story of a different historic woman in STEM in each episode, and it's a lot of fun and super informative so y'all check them out. Enjoy!
