“When discussing administration of CIS43LS they forgot to check the math. One dose for me at 40mg per kilogram would be 3.38 grams. That would require an IV infusion.”

“I like the other This Week In series quite a bit, but this one is the odd one out since they spend a large amount of time (sometimes the entire episode) on case studies. They present these with the idea of listeners writing in to guess what parasite it is. What’s lame about these is that most...”Read full review »

“This podcast is great. Provides so much information on parasitology in an enjoyable way.
Just started from the first episode and I’m going to binge this till I catch up.
Currently studying an undergraduate directed towards parasitology so I’m definitely bias towards this podcast.”

“TWIP was recommended to me by a postdoc in our group early in the first few weeks of my PhD studies. After a year or so of listening I am nearly caught up and very much looking forward to writing in with a guess to one of Daniel’s clinical cases.
In my opinion, you would be hard pressed to find...”Read full review »

““I just got back from a trip to Panama...”
“Ahh, fishing is great in the coasts of central america...”
“Do you know Dr. Blank...?”
I simply wanted to learn about parasites not how these fogeys spend their retirements.”
