Josh spent his six month internship with the Centre for Forest Protection learning all about identifying nematodes. He worked with PhD student Talor in the Holt Lab containment facility at Forest Research and became quite an expert in identifying the different parts of these microscopic worms.
You can read about Josh’s experience in his intern diary here, and watch him give a talk on his research here.
