If you missed it, Kevin Lafferty's seminar on When and where climate will impact disease is now posted. Kevin explores how parasites, food webs, biodiversity, and climate change interact. Using examples from schistosomiasis and malaria, he shows why simple predictions can be misleading

Looks like a great group of folks turned out for the NorthEast EEID meeting last week!

Lisa Couper gave an amazing talk for the EEIDforum seminar on how mosquitoes may adapt to a warming climate—and what that means for future mosquito-borne disease risk. It's available here if you missed it: youtu.be/KuxI2WwB9p8

Coronaviruses in bats are almost never harmful to humans. New study led by Dr Alison Peel @alibat.bsky.social looks at co-infections in young bats - and how they might shape how viruses evolve in nature. go.sydney.edu.au/CneWYt 📷 Photo credits to Kathleen Flynn, Pat Jones, Remy Brooks.

Smith conservation fellowship, which often has some disease-related projects, is now open: www.smithfellows.org

We created an initial webpage at EEIDforum.org. We're in beta testing phase, but there is a job board with a few postings, feel free to put up your own EEID related job ads there.

ICYI here are the slides we presented earlier this morning of an AI analysis of information from the abstracts we received at #EEID2025. We hope it is useful for offering some big-picture perspective on what's going on in EEID research right now. Or at least a starting point for discussion!

Hawaii’s iconic forest birds are vanishing and drones dropping lab-raised mosquitoes may be their last lifeline. It sounds absurd, but it’s a smart, targeted fix to an extinction crisis driven by climate and disease. @benjij.bsky.social for @vox.com: www.vox.com/down-to-eart...

Scientists are dropping live mosquitoes out of drones in Hawaii. Here’s why.

The wild reason why bird advocates are releasing these reviled insects from the sky.

For those people attending #EEID2025 let's have some details for those that can't make it. Who did a great job?

THIS IS IT! THIS IS HUGE!! PLAINTIFF'S WIN!! Judge Young rules that the NIH grant terminations at issue in these cases are illegal and therefore vacated. BOOM!

Scott Delaney@scott-delaney.bsky.social · last yr.

"This Court rules that the challenged directives . . . are arbitrary and capricious." "They are of no force and effect." "They are illegal and so are each of the terminations before this Court"

Who is excited about #EEID2025? Huge shout out to the organizers and helpers. If you see one of them, give them a wink, nod, high five, tip of the hat to show your appreciation!
