Dirty little worms

I started a nematode social media account, @dirty.little.worms (on Instagram and Bluesky) in 2025, simply because I couldn't contain my love and excitement for these tiny worms any longer! I find nematodes fascinating due to their morphological and functional diversity. Few people know that nematodes exist and even fewer know they regulate important soil ecosystem processes, like decomposition. 

I enjoy speaking about nematodes to the public: check out a presentation (below) I gave to the Michigan Wildlife Conservancy's monthly Biology on Tap in May 2025!
