Come join the Ohmer lab! We are looking for a postdoc in ecophysiology and biophysical modeling- application review starts March 1st. Reach out with any questions!

Beyond proud to be a co-signatory on this critical issue addressed in the nature article. Truly grateful for the hard work of so many drawing attention to the vital need for the Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing (PABS) System within the Pandemic Agreement 👇🏻

We spent the last two months redesigning our website and it's finally live! Sign up for our newsletter, access all of our papers, read about our research and education programs, get the latest on small research grants, and more. Please share (and sign up)! viralemergence.org

Want to join #TeamEmergence? The call is once again open for postdocs or late-stage PhD students to join our team as Fellows in Residence: a 6- or 12-month virtual collaborator status with a $5k stipend and tons of professional development opportunities! viralemergence.org/grants

New from Colin Carlson on the Verena blog: why doesn't nature use the term "Global South"? viralemergence.org/blog/nature-ha…

New The Verena Institute study in preprint! How consistent are the impacts of social and environmental drivers on the outbreak geography of emerging infectious diseases? We harmonised surveillance and geospatial data for 32 diseases to ask this question. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

We found that reporting biases are ubiquitous and shape our understanding of the geography of emerging diseases - and that after accounting for these, a widespread anthropogenic fingerprint is detectable for vector-borne (but not directly-transmitted) zoonoses.

🆕Global spatial analysis of 16 drivers on outbreak patterns with 58k+ records for 32 diseases! After years in the making, Fingerprint was released today. This is my last pandemic collab with Rory Gibb and the The Verena Institute team and it is probably my favourite one.

If you work on pandemics, global health security, disease ecology, or conservation, I hope you'll read and share our new preprint. 👇 (Or, just take this statistic: For every hour you travel from a clinic, the lifetime odds of detecting an outbreak goes down by one third.)

We're looking for a postdoc with a background in quantitative epidemiology to come do high-impact work on climate change, vaccines, and health systems costing. Job posting coming soon - please email in the meantime! carlsonlab.bio

Thrilled to share that I’ve received a career dev award (K01 SERCA) from NIH ORIP supporting my work on climate change, wildlife health, & disease transmission (with colleagues @EbelLaboratory, The Verena Institute, CSU Microbiology, Immunology & Pathology, et al.) 🦇🦟🦠🌎

We recently preprinted our meta-analysis of spatial and social behaviour in wild animal systems! Have a read if you're interested in density dependence, disease transmission, network scaling and structuring, or comparative behavioural work: doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… (1/4)

New blog post 🦠 We can uphold the principles of open data while also ensuring that obligations around access and benefits sharing are met - there is no tradeoff between fair and open. viralemergence.org/blog/abs-and-o…

at #ESA2024? come hear about new work from the lab on mathematical and statistical modeling of host–virus interactions by Molly Simonis, PhD , @brianaabook, and Caroline Cummings (and me indirectly via Greg Albery )

The Pharos front-end is having some technical difficulties. You should be able to access your data, but the public map and table are not currently rendering correctly. We're hoping to have this resolved ASAP!

Up to four postdoc opportunities with The Verena Institute and the Yale University Public Health Modeling Unit ‼️

Some The Verena Institute news: To support Oropouche virus research & response efforts, we're releasing a mini-database of raw data from vector competence experiments. You can still access and cite the data while we work up the preprint! More here: viralemergence.org/blog/data-rele…
