#Disease peeps: What are your favorite stories to tell in your classes? What parts of the history of learning about diseases is the most interesting to you or your students? How have our values through time impacted this process? What's the best combo of gross and cool?

So excited that student work from my @fitnyc disease ecology class is being featured in this blog post from the NYAM Library! Check out some of the amazing things my students made!

I made a post saying “hey! More people should observe the honorable harvest! Maybe don’t be a jerk when foraging” and CHILE u would’ve thought I told some people I was going to eat their mom

Here’s a selection of comments, and I bet you can’t guess what they all have in common!

@ThatRyanParrott Thank you so much for talking to my son about his monster and Godzilla drawings on Sunday! I hope this inspires him to keep practicing and being creative!

@Drew_Lab @GeoEdResearch congrats, this sounds amazing! We should chat sometime about doing some teaching collabs!

[Evelyn Rynkiewicz (she/hers) @evierynk]

Re-vamping #diseaseecology class to be more on the case study format. Looking for recs on papers/resources on things like rabies, bovine TB, plague, HIV, let me know!

@eeid2023 Ok I’ll need to bring my kids so Isla can play with your adorable dog!

"It is unforgivable that one person does every 10 minutes from a preventable disease like #rabies." @hampson_katie and her colleagues and students have been working to understand rabies dynamics in domestic dogs and the importance of targeted vaccination campaigns. #EEID2022

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!

Very happy I got to work on this pub with @Nguyen_4science and @The_David_J!

[Karena Hạ Nguyễn, Ph.D. @Nguyen_4science]

A timely pub for @eeid2022! Me, @The_David_J & @evierynk developed a lab activity that allows students to build their own contact networks & simulate outbreaks & interventions. It can be scaled for non-major & major students. #DiseaseEcology #EEID2022

@L_Brierley @cdcmuseum It was a little too tricky to have me travel for work this summer, hopefully next year! We’re all good, you’re welcome to come say hi! ;)

[Evelyn Rynkiewicz (she/hers) @evierynk]

Vector borne disease networks in space-time! Love it. Maybe we need a TARDIS for the next analysis ;) #EEID2022

[Evelyn Rynkiewicz (she/hers) @evierynk]

Can’t be in person for #eeid2022 in Atlanta, but I’m glad I can join remotely! Very cool to see a breakdown of how different kinds integrative research works from Amira Roess! Working together is the way forward!

[Evelyn Rynkiewicz (she/hers) @evierynk]

@RachelPenczy @eeid2022 @_QuinnFox_ @majbugay @ptanford Miss being there with you all! I’m calling into the zoom talks as much as I can!

[Evelyn Rynkiewicz (she/hers) @evierynk]

@blackforager @danbigtreeman weigh in!

[Evelyn Rynkiewicz (she/hers) @evierynk]

@blackforager Bur oaks are my favorite, there are so many beautiful ones in Wisconsin where I’m from. They always look so wise! When I moved to southern Indiana for grad school Sassafras became my next favorite! The leaves are fun and the smells (and the name!).
