This is very cool -- a vaccine for foulbrood in honey bees is in trials! Invertebrate immune systems are so different from ours. Super interested in the results. www.sciencenews.org/article/hone...

My #1 favorite thing to tell people about isopods is that they are land shrimp! Crustaceans, not insects. #2 fave is that they have pouches like kangaroos and give live birth. www.kqed.org/science/2000...
The world is a lot again, so how about a #SpotTheInsect challenge?

A shrimp vaccine for commercial use could protect the environment and prove vaccines arenβt just for vertebrates.
