Sarah Dobson’s passion for epidemiology, supported by her growing commitment for using reliable data to solve public health problems, was cultivated through various internships and the invaluable advice of her mentors. Pursuing an MPH at @UMichSPH allowed Dobson to delve deeper into the field and become fascinated with the intersection of climate change and public health. myumi.ch/Q68M7 @UMichEpid

🚨New pre-print🚨 2023 was a near-record year for #ValleyFever in #California following transition from drought to atmospheric rivers in winter 2022/23. Following a second wet winter of 2023/24 in California, we forecast continued high incidence of #ValleyFever for 2024 into 2025

Continued swings between drought and heavy rainfall (aka "precipitation whiplash") under climate change will have implications for Valley fever. Forecasts can help inform public health messaging to enhance provider and patient awareness for earlier diagnosis and treatment.

Already 2024 is making news for #ValleyFever, with an outbreak following the Lightning in a Bottle #MusicFestival in late May. Heavy precipitation in Kern last winter followed by a hot, dry summer may have provided the right conditions for the fungus to grow and spores to spread.

Using an ensemble prediction model, we forecast that cases will follow a strong seasonal pattern, peaking in November at ~1,400 cases statewide. Southern San Joaquin Valley, Central Coast, and Southern Coast are anticipated to see the highest case counts.

Guiding words: “[With climate change] the rich will find their world to be more expensive, inconvenient, uncomfortable, disrupted, and colorless—in general, more unpleasant and unpredictable, perhaps greatly so. The poor will die.” –Kirk R. Smith, PhD, MPH (1947–2020).

Important call from @BaccarelliAA and colleagues for public health to move from describing the climate problem to solutions-focused research. Read this, then the full article: journals.lww.com/environepidem/…

In months following vaccine availability, we estimated reductions of 31% and 27% from expected cases in 12-15 y/o's and 5-11 y/o's and a 24% reduction in hospitalizations for 6-59mo/o's. Counties with higher pediatric vaccine rates saw greater reductions in cases per population.

Case analysis of >3.9 mil COVID cases in California found that pediatric vaccination averted >375,000 cases of COVID-19 and 270 hospitalizations in children 6mo-15yrs in the 4 to 7 months following vaccine availability. @JenniferR_Head @Justin_Remais ja.ma/3JuSQjp
