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?

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 climateβand 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!

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!
Looks like a great venue!
Hawaiiβs iconic forest birds are vanishing and drones dropping lab-raised mosquitoes may be their last lifeline. It sounds absurd, but itβs a smart, targeted fix to an extinction crisis driven by climate and disease.

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!
