It&#8217;s normally held in-person at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory at Heidelberg University in Germany, but was this year moved online because of the coronavirus. Research was divided into seven areas from emerging challenges and new tools to transmission biology. Because the event took place online, the barrier to entry was significantly reduced, allowing for a higher-than-usual number of 389 participants to attend, the majority of which PhD students. As the two-day conference came to an end, Andy Waters of Glasgow University and Julian Rayner of Cambridge University closed the virtual meeting, dubbing it a successful and \u2018wonderful experiment&#8217;.<\/p><p>And, the synchronisation of <em>Plasmodium<\/em> infection is controlled by the parasite\u2019s own internal clock.
