Jeremy, the English Garden Snail: Heredity, Citizen Science, and #snaillove

Jeremy is an English garden snail whose shell coils to the left instead of the usual right. When geneticist Dr. Angus Davison learns about him, scientists and snail enthusiasts seek a left-coiled mate for Jeremy. His unusual shell brings questions about genetics and body symmetry, while the search draws public participation into the investigation. The story follows Jeremy from a compost heap to wider attention as people try to help solve the problem.
