Brad van Paridon
I am a second year Ph.D student from the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada and will be the main contributor and contact for zombieants.ca. I completed a B.Sc in Biology from the U of L
before pursuing graduate school. During my undergrad I began an independent research project with Dr. Cameron Goater, using PCR to identify a ranavirus as the culprit in observed die offs of tiger
salamanders in the eastern Rocky Mountains. I am currently enrolled as a Ph.D student in the Goater lab working on Dicrocoelium dendriticum. When not working on parasite research I enjoy reading
and writing about science, from biology to physics I have a keen interest in all things science. I also am actively involved in the local music scene playing bass guitar in a band since 2010.
The outdoors is also a love of mine and I enjoy camping, hiking, fishing, canoeing and skiing. All these interest combine to fill my time which is split between the cities of Calgary and Lethbridge.
I grew up in the city of Calgary which is two hours north of Lethbridge, both of which lie in the shadows of the Rockies. I am actively supported by a great group of friends, family as well as my
wonderful girlfriend Theresa Kisko who is also a graduate student at the University of Lethbridge, studying vocalizations and play behaviour in rats. Comments, thoughts, criticisms and collaborations
are always welcomed and appreciated. Feel free to contact me at bvanp213@gmail.com.
