New preprint from our working group trying to explain apparent context dependencies in global temperature–dengue relationships.

We have a new paper + dataset out today measuring daily wildfire smoke PM2.5 across US back to 2006, expertly led by Marissa Childs StanfordECHOLab . Below is an animation of 2020 data. paper: doi.org/10.1021/acs.es… data: stanfordecholab.com/wildfire_smoke Quick thread below

Our paper "Genetic diversity loss in the Anthropocene" is out in Science Magazine! We study how genetic diversity is lost by habitat loss to help define UN Biodiversity #Sustainable targets science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @CarnegieScience Carnegie Plants Carnegie Ecology Stanford University

>25 mosquito species in the US can potentially vector dog heartworm 🐕🪱 How can we figure out which ones to target in a given region? We explored this question using panel regressions and CA's amazing mosquito surveillance data 👇 rdcu.be/cX8jD

UCLA has suspended award-winning ecologist Priyanga Amarasekare without pay, apparently for speaking out against discrimination. Here are some ways you can help. dynamicecology.wordpress.com/2023/01/26/ucl…

I'm recruiting postdocs! mordecailab.com/opportunities

Hey Stanford University, me again. You okay? Us postdocs are getting worried you can’t do basic math. Also, requiring guarantors for housing shames those who come from poor fams. No one in my fam would ever have been able to meet these requirements & I’m not alone. stanforddaily.com/2023/04/23/pos…

I’m defending my PhD May 17th! It will be ~1 hour talk on mosquito-borne disease & climate warming and anyone is welcome to attend (either in person or via zoom)!

I’ve buried a rap-related Easter egg in my oral defense slides - DM me if you find it! (There’s no prize. I just wanna know)

Talked to Emily Anthes about malaria in the United States, and whether that's climate change 🦟📈 nytimes.com/2023/06/27/hea…

Thought ticks were terrifying? They just got worse. Turns out they can use static electricity ⚡️ to launch through the air onto hosts, including you! Here's a thread about our new paper w/ Katie Lihou, Daniel Robert, out today in Current Biology doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.… 🧵👇

If anyone at #ESA2023 is interested in mosquitoes & climate change, please swing by my talk Monday at 3:30 in session ‘COS 35’ 🦟🌡️

Cycles of extreme drought & rainfall, driven by climate change, are fueling the spread Valley fever in Northern California. For San Francisco Chronicle I wrote about the growing risk of infection, w/ interactive data from Harsha Devulapalli (free link) sfchronicle.com/health/article…

In San Francisco Chronicle: How can we address the effects of climate change on infectious diseases like #Valleyfever? UC Berkeley's Dr. Lisa Couper reminds us, we must address the issue at its source and do everything we can to limit greenhouse gas emissions and warming Berkeley Public Health
