🚨 We're about to start reviewing applications, but there's still time to reach out for our postdoc position on climate change impact attribution! If you have experience with attribution science or climate epidemiology, and want to help us launch the Global Burden of Climate Change Study, reach out!
Our 2025 paper 'Health losses attributed to anthropogenic climate change' was featured on UNDRR's PreventionWeb: www.preventionweb.net/publication/...
New work in progress on primate reservoirs of arboviruses - when do they actually matter for transmission? and where will climate change take them - on display at the Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases Symposium last Friday!
Really interesting new paper on the rising health effects of our warming world with some great data visualizations.

NEW!🦠🌡️ : What makes a "dengue year" like 2023-24? It's hard to pin down an answer unless you can homogenize out all the spatial variation and temporal trends. But once you do, the answer is pretty clean: dengue years are hot years.
Last one of the year (unless...?) 👉 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.6...
NEW PREPRINT! 🦠⚖️🌡️ The Pandemic Agreement is the first global health treaty to name climate change, and behind the scenes, the UNFCCC was a source of both inspiration and conflict. Cristina Arnés-Sanz and team tracked climate issues through three years of negotiations: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
A long-term dream of mine has been to bridge @viralemergence.org's work on AI/ML-driven viral risk assessment with AI/ML-driven work on drug discovery. This would make a great topic for this fellowship here at Yale! If you're interested in applying, reach out. medicine.yale.edu/biomedical-d...
We're looking for a full-stack developer! Help us build the best open data platforms for pandemic prediction in the world.
Probably a short-term contract, but if you're looking for a full-time gig, let's talk. Inquire within: www.viralemergence.org/blog/were-hi...
‼️ New preprint: By solving a paradox in graph theory, we show that specialist symbionts constrain ecosystem structure, drive biodiversity, and face high extinction risk. With @jbyoder.org and @ctrlalttim.com:
🎉 Specialists drive biodiversity scaling in symbiotic relationships
