Copenhagen Bug Fest 2018
I was invited to give a talk at the Copenhagen Bug Fest 2018 about the insects that we may not like to eat in the future - but that instead are likely to become a bigger menace as a consequences of changing climatic conditions... I know they are not snails, but look at these beauties that we hand-picked from the basement @thenaturalhistorymuseum of Denmarks! Especially fascinated by the triatomine "assassin" bugs (the name it self...)
Science Galla @thenaturalhistorymusem of Denmark
Talking about snails, parasites and biodiversity at the annual ScienceGalla evening at the Natural History Museum of Denmark in front of +400 science-lovers in such beautiful surroundings! In the break I had some good chats with people lining up to watch parasites emerge from local pond snails - super fun experience :-)!
