Can you keep a parasite as a pet? Is a "parasite zoo" cool or eeew?

Parasitologists from the Australian National University will share their passion for studying parasites. With a wide range of backgrounds, they will demonstrate that there is a path to science for everyone.  This workshop will end with a tour of the "Parasite Zoo" exhibition where you can see lots of parasites, even live leeches! 

Check out the rest of the events being held as part of Parasite Pandemic from August 14-16, during National Science Week 2025 at the ANU Kioloa Coastal Campus, Kioloa, south coast NSW.

This Inspiring Australia event is supported by the Australian Government as part of National Science Week and co-hosted by the Australian National University and the Australian Society for Parasitology.
