@AlexaBoesel @UCLA @GeographyUcla Congratulations, Alexa! I so much enjoyed working with you at @wesleyan_u ! I know you'll be a great asset to @GeographyUCLA .

For years in my Global Change & Infectious Disease course, I’ve given extra credit on the op-ed assignment to students who could get their essays published. Record numbers this year! Nothing like living through a pandemic to give students urgency about communicating their ideas.

[Wesleyan University @wesleyan_u]

As a result of an assignment from Professor Fred Cohan's course, Global Change and Infectious Disease, more than 25 students have had their work published in newspapers across the US – many citing the University’s COVID-19 safety protocols.

@seeshespeak I love it here, too. On a road trip in high school across the USA from my Southern Calif home, I decided I wanted to be a New Englander. So, after 6 years in grad school in MA and 35 years as a prof in CT, am I a New Englander yet?

It’s regular federal employees working with integrity who saved the country, not the prissy idea that Congress would do the right thing. I extend Wu’s @superwuster message beyond the feds to all working with integrity to better the country and the world.

Opening for Asst Prof in Cell/Dev Biology at Wesleyan University. Wesleyan Biology is a congenial and stimulating department with great opportunities for building a career in research and teaching. I should know—I’ve been a happy camper here for 35 years!

Great article on how to reopen schools.
“Our sense of responsibility toward children — at the very least, to protect them from … poor decision making of adults who allow deadly infections to spiral out of control — is core to our humanity.” @mlipsitch https://t.co/5trpGeI62C

As a lover of guacamole and all things avocado, I'll share this homage and biological history of the once-nearly-extinct avocado

Nice piece on spread of the successful mutation in the Spike protein in SARS-CoV-2. Looks to be a sweep within one global, ecologically homogeneous population of the virus. Will there be ecological diversification of the virus according to our behavior?

As a (non-native) New Englander, I really loved this piece! A little New England nostalgia, a little Covid.... Thank you!

Lovely piece appreciated by this New Englander

[Frederick M. Cohan @CohanLab]

This is so important. I hope you'll watch it. Thanks! Fred

Dear white people,
For days you’ve asked me what you can do to help. I’ve finally found an answer.

Let your guard down and listen.

[Frederick M. Cohan @CohanLab]

In hope that with planning and organization (and exhaustive testing and isolating when necessary), we can safely reopen our campuses in the fall. https://t.co/SrnYXgVit2 via ⁦@nytopinion⁩

My interview with @wesleyanargus on ethics of fighting infection and updating Socialism of the Microbe. Originally, it was investing to treat/prevent infections of others locally. Now, it’s fighting infections worldwide plus protecting the environment.

[The Wesleyan Argus @wesleyanargus]

Prof. Cohan teaches Global Changes and Infectious Diseases and runs a lab studying ecological diversity. He talked with The Argus about COVID-19 and altruism that isn't "just altruism, it's an altruism that has a payback to keeping us healthy."

@mlipsitch Marc, Thank you so much for this! I really appreciate your efforts with the press! Fred

How to talk to your friends about social distancing when they’re going to bars . In which yours truly admits to being old, and tries to be a sensitive soul while giving good advice. https://t.co/dvofdSoGjw

This paper is dedicated to the memory of Richard W. Castenholz, a hot spring microbiology pioneer, and a great guy!
