The #H5N1 outbreak in cows has left scientists struggling to understand why the outbreak seemingly took federal agencies by surprise. Erin Sorrell, Ellen Carlin, Meghan Davis and Dr. Claire Standley explain where strategic improvements can be made. on.cfr.org/4bi05aL

📢NEW REPORT! Last year Wellcome commissioned a landscaping report to synthesise the evidence on gaps, barriers, and opportunities for attributing anthropogenic climate change impacts on human health. The report, led by Colin Carlson is live now bit.ly/3V0MbTJ

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…

New preprint: The anthropogenic fingerprint on emerging infectious diseases. What drivers can we find in the data available for outbreak geography? Is there a "fingerprint"? See more below, and kudos to the whole team on this multi-year effort!

New lab website, and new postdoc job postings on the horizon -we're looking for an epidemiologist interested in vaccines and climate change impacts. Please reach out, or keep an eye on the Yale University job boards! Check out our lab website to see what we do: carlsonlab.bio

Crucial new Heatmap News article by Daniel Propp on barriers holding up clean energy deployment, with illuminating quotes from Michael Gerrard heatmap.news/climate/clean-…

NEW 🌡️🏥 We built a platform to track attribution science on the health impacts of climate change, building on our work last year with @WellcomeTrust. Hopefully useful for journalists, climate litigation, & other scientists. Check it out: healthattribution.org. Please RT!

And in more good news, Colin Carlson and colleagues have created a database of studies on the health impacts of climate change. I challenge anyone to read through these studies and try to deny the reality that we have a climate-health crisis on our hands. healthattribution.org

Guess who’s guest writing the ⁦Heatmap News⁩ AM briefing this week! heatmap.news/climate/califo…

My lab at WSU will be looking to fill a lab technician vacancy soon! Great opportunity for a recent graduate to gain research experience before moving to industry or making the jump to a PhD program! Reach out if you are interested!

I’ll be presenting on avian influenza and climate today at 3:30 pm PDT at the ⁦Ecological Society⁩ Inspire session along with some other fantastic ⁦⁦The Verena Institute⁩ colleagues. Come check us out if you’re around! #ESA2024

Our paper quantifies the undercounting of mortality linked to climate change. Very pleased that this study led by Colin Carlson is out below

Excited about the epidemiology of emerging viruses? We're looking for one or more postdocs in - count em - FOUR areas. Join us right as we move into a beautiful office full of brilliant and kind colleagues from across Yale's campus. (1/2) apply.interfolio.com/153039

📜 New from the old The Center for Global Health Science & Security team and current grad student in the group Hailey Robertson! tl;dr: There's a lot of steps to outbreak response - including before and long after - but they're more shared across outbreaks and settings than we thought. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

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…
