Today’s Ask a Scientist answers are brought to you by Associate Professor Justin Boddey, who works in our Infectious Diseases and Immune Defense Division, studying malaria.

You can read more about Justin at the end of this article.
Today’s Ask a Scientist segment is brought to you by Lizzie Lieschke, a PhD student who is working on cancer research. Lizzie is interested in all sorts of different areas of science, and you could say that she really rocks… because today’s she’s going to be answering all your questions about geology!
(Yes, that was a very bad joke… but Lizzie really does rock. You can read her full bio at the end of this post.)
Welcome to Ask a Scientist, where we answer your most pressing science questions!
Prof. Marc Pellegrini is having a pretty busy year – when you are an infectious diseases doctor and researcher and there is a brand new infectious disease around, you don’t have much time to sit around twiddling your thumbs! – but he took some time out to answer questions sent to us by students at Trinity Catholic School in Richmond. You can read more about Marc at the end of this article.
