Nik Cunniffe talks about modeling fungicide resistance #IEW13

#IEW1, way back in 1963, may have been a pioneering event, but several things have changed for the better. The suits and ties are gone. 🙂 And much more significantly, epidemiologists are far more diverse. In particular, it is great to see all the women in our field. 👏

Elin Falla on epidemiological modeling of non-persistently transmitted plant viruses: viruses alter host phenotype to change aphid behavior; model shows that attract-and-deter phenotype benefits virus more than previously thought -implications for control; Nik Cunniffe lab #iew13

LOVE hearing from Elin Falla on her work modeling the effects of accounting for insect behavior in epidemic models. Really nice work, word is she has some cool field work that she's comparing her models back to, can't wait to see the papers! Nik Cunniffe #IEW13 #sketchnotes

Always cool to hear from Nik Cunniffe! He's been continuing some really cool modeling work on how best to manage disease when fungicide resistance is a real threat. #IEW13 #sketchnotes

Really valuable day learning more about agricultural sustainability and agri-tech - thanks to the organisers!

🌱It's National #PlantHealthWeek! Did you know? Plants produce 98% of the oxygen we breathe. Let's ensure their health to safeguard our own! 🌿 #PlantHealthDay Defra UK APHA

🌿 Fact: 80% of the food we eat comes from plants. Protecting plant health is crucial for food security, as 20-40% of global food production is lost to pests and diseases annually. 🌱 #PlantHealthWeek #PlantHealthDay Defra UK APHA

I’ve been in Spain this week to give a talk on my PhD work at the European Conference on Mathematical and Theoretical Biology. Thanks to the organisers for hosting such a great event in the (very very) sunny Toledo! #ECMTB24

Very excited to be at British Society for Plant Pathology ‘s Plant Pathology conference for the next few days, and honoured to have been selected to give a talk on my PhD work in the PH Gregory Prize session today! #PPATH24

The PH Gregory talks will start with Molly Bergum, Elin Falla, and Berlaine Quime!

My talk at the Plant Pathology conference #PPATH24 won the PH Gregory Prize for best student talk! Thanks to British Society for Plant Pathology for organizing such a great conference

❓Why should models of non-persistent plant virus transmission include aphid vector dispersal & feeding behaviours? 🗣️ Explained by Elin Falla at today's @livunimaths Mathematical Biology seminar 📄 To find out more, see associated PLOS Comp Biol paper: doi.org/10.1371/journa…

The preprint of my second first-author paper (with Nik Cunniffe) is out! Read to find out how planting virus-resistant companion plants can control the spread of non-persistently transmitted plant viruses: cabidigitallibrary.org/doi/10.31220/a… @plantsci Gonville & Caius College School of Biological Sciences
