I was honored to be the lead organizer of the Woods hole Immuno-parasitology (WHIP) meeting that I co-organized with Tajie Harris (University of Virginia) April 13-16, 2025. We had ground breaking trainee talks, and wonderful key note addresses from P'ng Loke (NIH), Jenny Ting (University of North Carolina) and John Harty (University of Iowa). We even had a first ever 5K WHIP run (pictured below)! We received generous sponsorship from AAI, ASM, and KNU and several industry partners which made it all possible. The future of parasite immunology is bright!
