Kristine, the Marine Biologist

fun fact: after completing my bachelors in marine studies, I published my first scientific paper in 2018. my work in systematic parasitology expanded on the concept of the Opistholebetinae Fukui (marine worm), with my discovery of a new genus and species, which I then got to name 😌🙏🏽

happy to have made my mark in the scientific world 🦠 🦋 🐚 above all, grateful for the opportunity. link in my bio if you're curious to see some rad drawings and a bit of a story 🐌

also, I believe this was the era of my most tanned self; aussie sun + marine bio major combo ☀️

Check out the paper here:

Expansion of the concept of the Opistholebetinae Fukui, 1929 (Digenea: Opecoelidae Ozaki, 1925), with Magnaosimum brooksae n. g., n. sp. from Tripodichthys angustifrons (Hollard) (Tetraodontiformes: Triacanthidae) in Moreton Bay, Australia
