What the Helminth?
We went from knowing zero parasite scientists to knowing seventy parasite scientists at the ICOPA 2022 conference in Copenhagen - specifically at Sydney, Australia’s 2026 bid party. We had a great time at SUKAIBA in Bella Sky and we were only 40% intimidated asking questions to people who make a living being impossibly, unreasonably smart.
Teams performed admirably identifying facts and figures from a selection of scientific papers - including one on camel urine - and the contingent of Australian quizzers knew plenty about the back catalogs of INXS and Keith Urban.
In the end, though - three teams out of twenty were victorious and one team was just a really great sport:
1 . NTDs (in a tie!)
2 . From Lima to Sydney in every disco I get in my heart is pumping for love
3 . Cleopatras
Last Place . So Lost
