Within-host communities & disease // @royalsociety University Research Fellow at @SBSatEd // she/they 🏳️‍🌈

[Amy Sweeny @arsweeny]

Some fun Friday news! This is my first official week back at the University of Edinburgh @SBSatEd as a @royalsociety University Research Fellow.

My group will be working on wild animal microbiomes in the context of global change and I am beyond excited for this new chapter.

[WAME STN @stn_wame]

We are excited to announce a support scheme for ECRs wishing to attend ESEB 2025 and participate in the WAME-sponsored symposium “Contribution of the microbiome to host adaptation and plasticity”

See here for more details and please share!

Friday news: our @RSocPublishing Phil Trans B Special Issue is out!! Have a read if you're interested in any element of spatial and social behaviour and their interactions; thanks so much to all our wonderful contributing authors, and to my fellow editors https://t.co/X7jggpaSZ6

[Greg Albery @Gfalbery]

Time to announce: I’ve just started a position as an Assistant Professor in Zoology (Animal Behaviour) at Trinity College Dublin @TCD_NatSci ! The lab’s gonna work on integrative studies of social and spatial behaviour and their effects on disease dynamics. Can’t wait.

[The Verena Institute @viralemergence]

Up to four postdoc opportunities with @viralemergence and the @Yale Public Health Modeling Unit ‼️

[Lauren Petrullo @laurenpetrullo]

Interested in small mammals, eco-evo, the microbiome, hormones, maternal effects? My research group is recruiting again - come join us in beautiful Tucson, Arizona. Contact me for more info & see below👇. Apps due Dec 1. Please RT & share

Proud to see this out from my PhD! The culmination of years of work + data collection by many people. Does gut microbiome variation matter in free-living wildlife?

Sure seems to for survival in @SI_Horses

Why?

We think it might be partly related to…

[Colin Carlson @ColinJCarlson]

NEW 🌡️🏥 We built a platform to track attribution science on the health impacts of climate change, building on our work last year with @WellcomeTrust. Hopefully useful for journalists, climate litigation, & other scientists. Check it out: https://t.co/3O5WYL573K. Please RT!

[Amy Sweeny @arsweeny]

Check out our preprint! This was an absolutely tremendous effort led by Greg and a delight to see develop. Lots of fun results to unpack surrounding density dependence and spatial / social processes across a vast representation of animal systems.

[Greg Albery @Gfalbery]

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: https://t.co/gzdaIJw4Ou (1/4)
