🧵🦠 Where do emerging infectious diseases come from—and how does spatial scale shape what we see? In our new preprint, we explore zoonotic risk in Java, Indonesia, combining host habitat, biodiversity, human encroachment & population-at-risk. 📖 researchsquare.com/article/rs-634…

⏰ Only two days left! We’re recruiting a PhD candidate at the Disease Ecology Lab, University of Sydney — a rare chance to dig into the drivers of infectious diseases at the wildlife–livestock interface. 🌐 Apply here: sydney.edu.au/scholarships/d…

Birds not crossing the Great Dividing Range (“Extensive Tracking of Nomadic Waterbird Movements Reveals an Inland Flyway” doi.org/10.1002/ece3.7…), this paper may also provide clues as to how the risks of some mosquito-borne pathogens (like MVEV, JEV) aren’t seen on the coast!

First 3 lines of our just out 2024 State of the Climate report "We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled." Thoughts? You can read paper here doi.org/10.1093/biosci…

My coauthor, Thomas Newsome, and I wrote this about-Unprecedented peril: disaster lies ahead as we track towards 2.7°C of warming this century theconversation.com/unprecedented-…

Today we published our 2024 State of the Climate Report where we scientists declare that the fabric of life on Earth is imperiled. theguardian.com/environment/20… You can read full report here: doi.org/10.1093/biosci…

🦇🌡️ Time flies! When I published this #bat #climatechange paper, I hoped it would spark more holistic thinking about the links between #biodiversity conservation and #publichealth. Raising awareness of #wickedproblems is tough, but we have to keep trying. doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2…

My favorite data science book to get started: R for Data Science (NEW 2nd Edition). This is what I like most:

@maxjfarrell @UofGlasgow @UofGMVLS @UofGSBOHVM @UofGSii @CVRinfo Awesome news, congrats!

Over the moon to announce I'll be starting as a lecturer @UofGlasgow @UofGMVLS next month! I'm excited to continue my research at the interface of biodiversity, infectious diseases, and artificial intelligence with fantastic colleagues at @UofGSBOHVM @UofGSii @CVRinfo

Why are humans so self-destructive? 'Nexus' argues that the fault is not with our nature, but with our information. Out Sept 10: bit.ly/GetNEXUS. #NexusBook #AI
