We recently preprinted our meta-analysis of spatial and social behaviour in wild animal systems! Have a read if you're interested in density dependence, disease transmission, network scaling and structuring, or comparative behavioural work: doi.org/10.1101/2024.06.28.6… (1/4)

Some new old work from the @bansallab is out now in Vaccine - how do you build a vaccine stockpile that's smart about both spillover and spread? Two case studies on MERS and Nipah, with thanks to @CEPIvaccines 🔓 authors.elsevier.com/a/1jHp7…

The addition of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) sessions at scientific conferences is excellent progress! ...

But working on DEI issues comes at an opp cost to junior folks. Since DEI work is often done by underrepresented groups, these costs can amplify existing inequities. PSA: If you're inviting a scientist for a DEI talk, please also give them the opp to speak about their science.

Managing diseases in livestock in a country the size of the U.S. is a huge challenge due to the frequent and extensive movement of animals across the nation. Learn more in a piece I wrote for @statnews with my colleague, Colleen Webb (CSU): statnews.com/2024/05/07/trac…

As livestock move around the country, so does H5N1. The U.S. needs real-time tracking of livestock...

Pasteurization appears to inactivate #H5N1 so milk continues to be safe, but you might be surprised to learn how prevalent raw milk consumption is in the US. Raw milk sales are permitted in most states (thanks to @AlexesMerritt for the map, data from procon.org)

A recent study also found that 4.4% of US adults had raw milk in the last year. And the traits most associated with raw milk consumption: young age (18-35yo), high income (also possibly high education), living in the Northeast, and in rural areas. doi.org/10.4315/JFP-21-407

For more on raw milk H5N1 risks, also check out @HelenBranswell great piece from yesterday: statnews.com/2024/04/29/bird…

There’s never a good time to drink raw milk. But now's a really bad time as bird flu infects cows

People who drink raw milk from an H5N1-infected cow could get seriously sick, scientists say.

Some new (old) work with @bansallab up on medRxiv today: how do you design a vaccine stockpile that's robust to heterogeneity in spillover risk, epidemic characteristics, human mobility, and vaccination strategies? Case studies on Nipah virus and MERS-CoV: medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

New paper!! In it, @mattjsilk, @bansallab, and I look at the social network literature to examine how and why people compare social networks across species, identifying problems and suggesting solutions to help do so in the future: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
