Feels bittersweet tbh. Many on frontlines fought for a loss and damage fund for years, even when told it was impossible, bc it’s an existential issue. Now that it’s here, it means devastation and injustice of climate crisis has reached a point where no one can ignore it. #COP28

@dishonmuloi @Ecology_Letters Thanks so much Dishon!

@merevanack @Ecology_Letters Congratulations @merevanack

Very excited to publish our work on how New York City deer movement constructs the risk landscape for blacklegged tick exposure in @Ecology_Letters 1/ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el…

Risky human-wildlife interfaces are critical to characterize to understand transmission dynamics for many different zoonoses, stay tuned for future research on this theme. Thank you to my co-authors including @NYCParks, @diukwasserlab, @fondazionemach! 5/end

Through dispersal kernel simulations, we displayed the future probability of vector dispersal at human interfaces informed by deer movement and habitat selection. 4/
