Science Week: Opening a can of worms: parasites in NMI-Natural History

Free

A tapeworm (Taenia spp.) donated to the collections in 1892 by a veterinary inspector

This Science Week join NMI- Natural History Zoology Curator, Dr Amy Geraghty, for a special online talk for adults to discover some examples of parasites from the collections.

 

Parasites are found in nearly every environment and creature on earth. They are important but understudied parts of ecosystems - a community of interacting organisms and their environment. Help us to lift the lid on their behaviour, lifecycles and presence in the National Museum of Ireland – Natural History.
