Hello! And welcome to the Science Bloggers Podcast. This show is an offshoot of the Science Bloggers Facebook group and was created with two goals in mind. Many science communicators are also involved in science in some way, whether they are scientists doing research, or have a keen interest in the field. The show geeks out in both areas, letting them discuss the science they write about, and their views on getting their message out.

This week's guest is Jake Shurba, a wildlife biologist who studies the microbiomes of wood ducks. Jake is also a science blogger who runs "The Art of Infection" blog where he explores the world of parasites and what makes them so fascinating. We discuss what got Jake interested in studying wildlife diseases, as well as why he has chosen to blog about parasites.

David Latchman is a freelance science writer and host of this podcast. He runs the Science vs. Hollywood blog (sciencevshollywood.com) where he explores the portrayal of science in television shows and movies.
