We're recruiting a cohort of six Ph.D. students to start Fall 2023 and participate in a new Institute training program focused on biological integration across scales, from molecular virology up to climate change. Please share widely! Details here: viralemergence.org/join

Congratulations to Salamatu Salamatu Abdu for her first first authored paper out today! Compares different methods for quantifying parasite loads, importantly shows that field samples are inadequate. Read more here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec… Hanja Brandl Lucy Aplin

I am excited to share my first PhD chapter highlighting the importance of pooled sampling when estimating parasite loads

We've got opportunities at every level right now: six Ph.D. positions across the United States, two open postdoctoral fellowships, and two staff positions (a data scientist and a program manager!). Go to viralemergence.org for all the details! And please RT!

And that's a wrap for Aust Soc for Para #CiP2022. Farewell Minjerribah - thanks for an unbelievable 10 days. So extremely fortunate to spend time and learn from this tremendous bunch of brilliant, big-hearted, open-minded and friendly scientists. Thanks Sophie Collier for the pic
