Holy Protozoa!

2024 EIS Symposium shirts are still available, and to the best of our knowledge Trypanosomes are phylogenetically basal to the common ancestor of Viridiplantae and Opisthokonta (cf. Williamson et al 2024)!

Celebrate the diversity of life and amuse your biologist friends with this gear from yester-year!

Image shown is displayed on front of shirt; reverse side (not shown) lists the sponsoring departments.

Pick up information - the item will be available to be picked up in person at the 2026 Ecological Integration Symposium on April 2-3rd, 2026. If you are interested in acquiring an item outside of these days, an email will be sent to arrange pick up in person on campus.
