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

Kevin Lafferty (USGS) will be giving the EEIDforum seminar this Thursday (Dec 4th) at 1pm US Eastern Time. He will be discussing: When and where does global change alter disease risk? You can register for the seminar here: www.eeidforum.org?page_id=261

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

Late Notice: Penn State will be hosting a regional Eco. and Evo. of Inf. Disease meeting on Nov. 14-15th!

Last month Dr Erin Sauer presented a masterclass on amphibian-climate-disease interactions spanning from lab experiments, to fieldwork, to global meta-analyses. If you missed it, you can watch it here: youtu.be/c7rcbN5r7Jw

Join us next Thursday, Nov. 6th for our 2nd EEID forum seminar. 1pm Eastern US Time. Mosquitoes in a warming world: climate adaptation and its consequences for disease transmission Lisa Couper UC Berkeley Links to the zoom details are available here: www.eeidforum.org?page_id=21

Join us on the first Thursday of every month at 1 US Eastern time for our Fall seminar series. Speakers will be tackling issues at the intersection of climate and disease. Students are encouraged to stay on after the seminar for an extended Q&A with the speaker.

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...

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!

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!
