The World Federation for Parasitologists, as of last week, now has a presence on social media. The facebook page, created last week by Christopher Weir in Melbourne, has been established as a place to discuss all things parasitology. Any meetings, notices, courses, questions, job listings and interesting journal papers from research labs can now be posted on the facebook page in addition to on the official web site of the WFP. Please help spread the word about this as we would love to see more members including students and members of the public who are interested in the world of parasites. Please also note that all material posted will be monitored to the best of Christopher’s ability, so avoid anything you would deem inappropriate. The facebook page can be found either by searching face book for the World Federation of Parasitologists, or by going to https://www.facebook.com/groups/worldfederationofparasitology/
