About Bobbi Pritt

Bobbi is Director of the Clinical Parasitology Laboratory in Mayo Clinic’s Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology. She is widely renowned as a trailblazer thanks to her tireless work in parasitology education, including “Parasite Wonders” – Bobbi’s website and blog, which showcases the creepy, yet fascinating, world of parasites. The funniest moment of her career? “I was once able to diagnose a large foreign body in a man’s bladder as a fishing lure – but only because of its similarity to fishing lures I had sent to my lab as mock specimens on April Fool’s Day three years before!”
