I’ve been informed today that James Keirans, former curator of ticks in the USNTC in Montana and then after Georgia, passed away last week.
I had the opportunity to name Argas keiransi as new species, years ago.

We need to talk. Opossums just don't eat nearly as many ticks as folks have been led to believe. It's not the opossum's fault - ticks just aren't a great food source. You understand, right?

Today we got two bins full of human encountered ticks!
Guess the number of ticks we got today, and win a giant tick!
The first one who guesses the exact number or the closest number will be the winner. The winner will be announced on June 10th.

Great to see the terrific #tick team from #Syracuse in #Albany to bring attention to #lyme & #tickborne illnesses. @Thangamani_Lab @CnyLyme @sunyesf #GetTickedOff

Many of us will be spending more time outside as the CNY weather warms up and so it’s important to start thinking about Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. We must also consider the role wildlife play in not only spreading tick-borne diseases but also controlling them.

Now that Moderna has submitted all pediatric data to @US_FDA, we urge an immediate, transparent and thorough review. Families of children under 5 have waited a long time for the reassurance of a safe and effective vaccine.
