Again, you may want to look up the history of societies post 1918 flu pandemic.
Travel grant applications are due by June 28, 2024!
Size matters… in tick-borne disease ecology! Ixodes pacificus nymphs (left) in CA have an infection rate of B. burgdorferi that is approximately 3x that in adults (right). Do your tick checks as both life stages can occur at the same time of year in certain areas. #ticktalk
When science meets art. This is one of the most beautiful figures I have seen in a review. The link to the article is here: frontiersin.org/journals/tropi…
On tonight's BBC News at Ten, the narrative about the campus protests moved even deeper into the realms of mendacious fiction. Earlier in the day the BBC led with a fake headline – "Rival protesters clashed" – even though the footage clearly shows outside pro-Israel agitators…
This thread on how admirable the student organizers have been. The “kids” are alright.
I’m as guilty as anyone of thinking of my @Columbia undergraduates as “kids.” But here is what I’ve seen them do in the last two weeks: (1/10)
⚠️ BREAKING Bird flu outbreak in humans suspected on Texas farm It comes amid concerns that eight people in India may also be infected with bird flu. Nearly 2,000 chickens in the area have also been culled after the infections were confirmed.
I AM NOT A LAWYER, AND THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE if you're going to a protest where you expect to get arrested it's extremely important to have arrest training. this thread will not be as useful as a proper training, but i can offer a few tips:

⚠️ BREAKING: Mysterious outbreak,Covid-like pneumonia infects 60 people in Buenos Aires of Argentina 🇦🇷 Doctors are on high alert over a mystery flu-like illness with similarities to Covid-19 that has people critically ill in Argentina. @ejustin46 @DavidJoffe64 @LauraMiers
A statement by our faculty at Columbia and Barnard. More to come. I am behind every word.
I’m still accepting applications for this PhD on bat virus dynamics in Neotropical bats until end of April. Please RT!
i'm recruiting for a new PhD student at @UofOklahoma to conduct field and theoretical studies of bat virus dynamics, focused on molossids in Belize! see below and our lab website for more information and how to apply: beckerlab.weebly.com/join.html
Thrilled to have been a part of this fascinating project lead by @IacarusoNick19 While arthropod eDNA detection is well-established, detecting tick eDNA is a bit challenging. We offer up some ideas as to why. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ed…
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 to this thread. I grew up in evangelicalism and am thrilled to see the scientific community standing up to pseudo-science and its connection to insidious, regressive dogma.
Excited to share this paper co-authored with @DSternCardinale on Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection: "Back to the fundamentals: A reply to Basener & Sanford 2018". The saga of how this paper came to be is pretty wild. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

We pay attention when it's foreign aid workers, because we know we can't just accuse them of being Hamas. But we should then recognize what that says about the utter dehumanization of Gazan civilians, and how eagerly so many are willing to participate in such dehumanization.

This is why sustainable investment in One Health is so critical- understanding/preventing spillover and disease spread among animals is critical. 👇🏻 human case of avian flu in Texas raises alarm - POLITICO politico.com/news/2024/04/0…
Leaders and staff at @EntsocAmerica and the ESA Southeastern Branch are deeply shaken by this event but grateful that these colleagues are on the path to recovery. We are confident that the entomology community's warmth and support will see them through this hard time.
Two grad students from @LSUEnt @LSU @LSUAgCenter were injured this past week during the southeastern @EntsocAmerica meeting in Augusta during a random act of violence! Please consider supporting them. gofundme.com/f/lsu-graduate…
Science Twitter- these grad students were shot while in GA attending an @EntsocAmerica Branch Meeting. Random shooting on the street. They are gonna need some help with bills while they recover. Let’s share this & help where we can! gofund.me/c538310f
