Had a wonderful time @eeid2022, learning about interesting science, reuniting with old friends and meeting cool scientists. Thank you to the organizers for a fantastic event! Can’t wait for @eeid2023, returning home @ciddpsu!
I enjoyed participating in yesterday's #EEID2022 panel on scientific communication - what has worked, what hasn't, and what I've learned. For these types of panels, I have made a conscious decision to be very honest, including the good and the bad experiences. 1/
What an amazing talk by @BeesAndBaking at @eeid2022 talking about honeybees, Varroa mites and viruses 🐝🦠 You’re killing it Lewis! Can’t wait to see more of your work.
Finally able to take a breath after the whirlwind of #EEID2022; it was wonderful to see old friends and meet new ones this week! Thanks to all the organizers for making it happen in a safe and inclusive way
Interesting look at Varroa mites across scales from @BeesAndBaking in this mornings session. He is starting as faculty @UGAEcology@Entomology_UGA and is looking for students, especially for masters! Get in touch!
"The attention that you give something, gives it value." - @sclaudwhitehead comments about #scicomm, and stepping up to engage in issues that have yet to break into the mainstream.
So, what do you care about? And are you ready to talk about it?

Really neat work by @m_loeher that looked at the virulence of Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus in novel hosts, and in hosts IHNV has co-evolved with. Implications for emerging infectious diseases. Exciting to have a talk about patho evo in non-terrestrial hosts! #EEID2022
@eeid2022 was the first opportunity I've had to present my graduate work beyond my institution and I'm so pleased it was well received! Thanks to all who organized and attended 🐟🦠💙
I had a great time @eeid2022! Thank you @eeid2022 for the Social Justice ID Travel Scholarship! What better conference to attend before I travel to Madagascar to study zoonotic disease risk and susceptibility?!
Great talk by @kes_shaw @ #EEID2022!
Bigger snails more exposed but less susceptible to schistosome parasites
In mixed populations, bigger snails absorb parasites w/o getting infected
Implications for community processes like competition & predation that affect size dists!
Host population heterogeneity is crucial for understanding disease transmission. Large snails can shield small ones from infection with schistosomes. @eeid2022@kes_shaw
