…it’s the Daily Parasite! 2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity, and Susan Perkins – a parasitologist at the American Museum of Natural History -- is celebrating by highlighting a different species of parasite every day this year on her blog, aptly-named “Parasite of the Day.” She’s taking nominations, so if you have a favorite let her know. So far, it’s 22 down, 343 to go.
(A tip of the hat to Carl Zimmer for pointing me to this new blog).
Oh man that's awesome! I am going to suggest that she cover dicyemids...

OK, here's a note to the dissertation service spammers who seem attracted to my posts like bees to nectar: I ALREADY WROTE ONE. I don't need your experts to do a literature search, identify a problem, or write up the analysis or conclusions -- I already did it, all by myself. In fact, I also designed the experiments for my thesis and built the equipment I needed to carry them out, though I don't see those tasks on your advertised list of services. And no, I don't want to join your purported ranks of Ph.D.s pushing these cut-rate fake documents on people who want to cheat their way to better credentials. A dissertation should be the product of serious and original intellectual work, not a piece of subpar drivel off the internet. Unless, I suppose, you're studying trends of subpar internet drivel.
In short, if you keep linking here, I'll just keep deleting you. With extreme prejudice.
