Thrilled to see our work discussed in Climate Gendered this week! www.climategendered.com/native-fish-...

Native fish could help address gendered impacts of schistosomiasis — while strengthening local food systems and economies

"This research project would not have happened had we not had buy-in and trust from the farmers we worked with," Emily Selland told CG about an effort in Senegal that showed integration of native fish...

11/ Bottom line: this remains a serious but contained outbreak. There may be more cases among passengers because symptoms can take weeks to appear, but the risk to the broader public remains extremely low and the virus continues to behave exactly how experts would expect Andes hantavirus to behave.

Our work on rice-fish co-culturing for disease control is out today in Nature Sustainability! rdcu.be/fh2aI We found: 🪱 Children in rice-farming households have higher Schistosoma infections 🐟 Native fish species 🐌 reduce snails and 🌾 increase rice yields by >25%! @rohrecologylab.bsky.social

Rice–fish co-culturing reduces schistosomiasis risk and increases yields and incomes

Nature Sustainability - Rice is a staple food for many households; however, its cultivation can expose farming families to parasitic diseases such as schistosomiasis via freshwater snails. The...

Tremendous commentary out this week on the hypocrisy of the #globalhealth community! Kudos to the authors for having us laugh and reflect on equity and equality, not just at conferences but in the field at large. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

How (not) to organise a panel at a global health conference

Global health is unfortunately not very global—a contradiction that becomes most evident at global health conferences. Although convened to advance the field of global health, these conferences often ...

I think this is really important: People often seem to assume a pathogen can either spread efficiently or not, like some on/off switch. But that's not really how it works. Many pathogens are shitty at spreading except under certain circumstances. This may turn out to be a case of such circumstances.

Becca Blyn, @sahanakumar.bsky.social and I combined our backgrounds to dive into the science-policy of infectious disease control, which is now out in Science Policy in a SNAP! medium.com/science-poli... @snapcoalition.org #WorldHealthOrganization #InfectiousDisease #SciencePolicy

Who is WHO? The World Health Organization is a Pillar of Science Policy Regulations

I've spent yesterday and today talking to researchers across the globe trying to understand the hantavirus outbreak aboard the cruise ship MV Hondius. My story in @science.org is here (and some threaded thoughts coming): www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪 #IDsky

Cruise ship’s hantavirus outbreak puts researchers in uncharted territory

Questions about the culprit virus and its route of spread remain as health officials make plans for stranded passengers

🚨 STARFISH EMERGENCY 🚨 Is there anyone out here who has a boat & access to San Juan Islands of Washington??!! And is available this week. My friend who fights sea star wasting disease (SSWD), his project site has become ineligible and needs help finding another. DM me ASAP if can help!

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

It is beyond insulting for @aaas.org to plan to host Brian Greene, an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, for a plenary talk at #AAAS2026, then cancel it the day before, only for the replacement to insist Greene was a “good scientist” and that he wished we could all hear from him.
