Having just returned from the annual MPM in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, I am now re-invigorated about my research.  The 4 day international conference was attended by 350+ attendees, with 60 talks and 200+ posters.  Parasites of interest varied from Plasmodium falciparum, the etiological agent of malaria to Trypanosome brucei, which causes sleeping sickness.  My poster reviewing my recently developed enzyme prediction tool in the context of resources and tools for studying apicomplexan metabolism attracted an unending audience and in particular, captured the interests of the EuPathDB group.  I was very pleased with the positive response and have a new-found confidence in my research abilities.   Regardless, the conference was a tremendous success and confirmed what great research is being done in the field of parasitology around the world.
