Excited to welcome fellow S&TPolicyFellowships fellow, Dr Zoe O'Donoghue, to #TeamVerena! 🎉

It was such a thrill to meet Miles O'Brien and talk about The Verena Institute, climate change, and the future of forecasting for the PBS PBS News 💙 (and to finally live my dream of being Tech Guy Expanding An Image On A Big Screen 🤏🖐️) pbs.org/newshour/show/…

in a new commentary with Arinjay Banerjee at The Lancet Microbe, we brainstorm how to better couple field and molecular studies of how zoonotic pathogens persist in and are shed from wildlife hosts (with a nod to roles of statistical and mechanistic modeling) tinyurl.com/2p87v52a

Postdocs and grad students! Are you interested in emerging viruses and open science? Develop a project proposal to work with The Verena Institute on your big idea in the next cohort of Fellows-in-Residence! Applications are open for Fall 2023! viralemergence.org/fellows

🦟 New study from The Verena Institute! We mapped out the experimental literature on mosquito vector competence, and looked for untested pairs, unsampled regions, and other gaps that might matter in the next arbovirus epidemic. Out now in Trop Med 🔓 (1/5) ajtmh.org/view/journals/…

This week, treaty negotiators are weighing a proposed World Health Organization (WHO) system that would ensure global access to life-saving medicines and fund future science. Proud to share an open letter in nature from 290 scientists in 36 countries on why we support the proposal nature.com/articles/d4158…

It's not open science until everyone benefits. We're proud to stand with 290 scientists in 36 countries today in favor of the science-for-science mechanism in Article 12 of the proposed World Health Organization (WHO) Pandemic Agreement and call on other organizations to do the same nature.com/articles/d4158…
