Within our bodies, lurking inside our pets and swarming in our water, there are devious organisms living out their lives and surviving at the expense of others. From worms to viruses, insects to birds, parasites are found all over the world, with their characteristics and behaviours as diverse as they are numerous. They are some of the world’s most feared creepy crawlies and are true masters of their environment - the ultimate survivalists. But though parasites are the stuff of nightmares, Charlie Evans argues that they might hold the key to our future. Charlie Evans has a love for gruesome science - especially parasites. She has just completed a two year masters research project in Icelandic Arctic foxes, identifying and counting the intestinal worms inside the tiny canines. Alongside her research, Charlie is a science journalist, writing articles and stories for children and young adults interested in STEM. She is editor of parasitology website The Mitey Bitey and an active member of The Sci Community.
