Are you a young scholar working on cities and climate change? Maybe you want to be an @ipcc.bsky.social chapter scientist for the Special Report on cities. Check it out: www.ipcc.ch/2025/01/27/c...

Foundations and future directions for causal inference in ecological research, forthcoming w/ @katherinesiegel.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/4mm57zzd. We wrote it based on our experience teaching causal inference to ecologists w/ some stuff we wish other papers had reviewed to share w/ the students 1/n

Really stellar new paper by @katherinesiegel.bsky.social & @lauradee.bsky.social This is your new causal reference—a must read!!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

We're back in February at UCL @ucl-pnl.bsky.social - watch this space 🦟

A couple of related, recent preprints from my lab: 1) Climate change sensitivity is widespread across animal-borne (zoonotic diseases) but methods and reporting so mixed that is hard to draw quantitative conclusions: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1... @roryjgibb.bsky.social @ar-tre.bsky.social

Sensitivity to climate change is widespread across zoonotic diseases

Climate change is expected to exacerbate infectious diseases, yet the climate sensitivity of zoonotic diseases (driven by spillover from animal reservoirs) is markedly understudied compared to vector-...

I work at the Natural History Museum in London, UK (with c. 300 other scientists) researching global change and animal-borne disease using a combination of fieldwork, big data and ML/AI. Hopefully will start posting on Biodiversity and Health related matters soon... www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science....
