Brain amoeba, weird worms and the wild parasites (inside you too!) with Natasha Mitchell and guests

Remember the 8cm living worm found inside a woman's brain last year? Where the hell did it come from? Parasites have bizarre and whacky stories to tell. Join Natasha Mitchell to meet three scientists listening to what they have to say. The science, medicine, and mayhem of parasites. You'll have a whole new respect for these clever survivors and their biology.

Thank you to the event organisers, the 2024 World Science Festival Brisbane and Queensland Museum
