Shout out to the amazing undergrads, postgrads, and technicians who just sorted and identified 2,314 field-collected ticks in record time! @shannonsummers_ @sweilab icyi there were 5 species collected but 91.4% were Ixodes pacificus

Would anyone, anywhere in the world, be interested in sending me #mosquito or #tick specimens representative of your local fauna? I’m happy to do it as an exchange if you want IL mosquito or tick specimens! Please retweet! And reply or DM if you’d like to set something up!

Pleased to share this collaborative effort, led by Dr Narasimhan, to synthesize knowledge on the factors that shape the tick microbiome and how it affects pathogen transmission.

Academic Twitter! What are your favorite wildlife live cams? I would like to have students do some armchair field biology next semester. What’s exciting to watch or has interesting behavior?

New paper out this week in @ecosphere with several @SweiLab students and led by @samsambado. Field and molecular analyses in CA show that Borrelia miyamotoi is present in all three life stages of Ixodes pacificus with prevalence increasing with stage. dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.3171

New from my lab at @Stanford, interactive modeling tool thinking about long-term #COVID19 interventions. Lifting interventions too early will likely lead to a second epidemic, but we have options to #FlattenTheCurve and #KeepItFlat. covid-measures.github.io/

I was editing grants for young and seasoned PIs this morning and realized a major difference between the two camps: inexperienced grant writers aim to impress whereas experienced grant writers aim to explain

Wilderness areas halve the extinction risk of terrestrial biodiversity rdcu.be/bRnJ3 Our @nature paper shows #wilderness areas are key for #biodiversity persistence. We highlight areas of highest importance to prevent, instead of reacting to, future #biodiversity loss
