What's a good gift for someone going off to start a (disease ecology) Ph.D. program?

Super excited about the latest piece of art I commissioned from the amazing Rosemary Hartman (https://www.etsy.com/shop/RosiesColoredGlasses):
"Host Pathogen Data Model", a quadriptych in stained glass.

Out from the EHA team + longstanding USAID PREDICT + IDRC collaborators: Prevalence of bat viruses associated with land-use change in Brazil
"We found that deforested sites had a less diverse bat community than forested sites, but higher viral prevalence and richness...In particular, viruses from the Coronaviridae family were detected more frequently in generalist species compared to specialist species."

CW: CLOSING Jan 15: Disease Data Science Jobs
Two positions on in my computational research group at EcoHealth Alliance: an entry-level research/admin assistant and a data scientist position. Join a great organization on a team working on disease ecology and emergence forecasting!

CW: Very cool and gross blackfly laravae newly disovered to carry river blindness parasites
Check out these Simuliidae larvae hanging out on a stream rock. Turns out they are previously unknown hosts of Onchocerca volvulus, which causes river blindness, and maintain it in the Ituri Highlands of DR Congo.
Story, photos and (wriggly) video at the post below, tremendous science in the paper above! 👆

Tremendous work by this North-South team, including my colleague Anne Laudisoit and #EcoHealthNet-supported students, finding that river blindness in the Ituri Highlands of DR Congo is locally maintained by a previously unknown vector (S. dentulosum). Implies that cryptic vectors could carry the disease in other regions!

Looking for the servers or hashtags that #EpiTwitter folks have been landing in the #twittermigration. I see just a trickle across the #InfectiousDisease #OneHealth #EpiMastadon #EpiStats #DisEcol hashtags.

Hi all! My #introduction:
I'm a computational ecologist interested in disease dynamics (#DisEcol!), zoonotic spillover, spatiotemporal processes and the intersection of mechanistic models, Bayes + ML. I work at EcoHealth Alliance, an NGO focused on the links between conservation + health.
I do a fair bit of #rstats and lead a project at @rOpenSci facilitating peer-review of scientific software.
I'm Brooklyn-based, and will sometimes toot about local #NYC politics, #cycling and #bikepacking.
