Today is #OneHealthDay, recognizing the importance of the connections between human, animal, and environmental health. Sadly One Health remains missing from medical school curricula. We created free online case studies for CME to address this gap

In this study we estimate the burden of yellow fever in Ghana over the past century and predict areas at risk based on ecological transmission cycles. We plan to build on this work to help our partners in Ghana develop local risk maps @JHMed_ID@EYE_Strategy#yellowfever#Ghana
Our study on the ecology and epidemiology of yellow fever outbreaks in Ghana is now online @PLOSGPH "Yellow fever in Ghana: Predicting emergence and ecology from historical outbreaks" https://t.co/NLJQiXlW9R
Our review on modeling zoonotic & vector-borne viruses is out in Current Opinion in Virology
https://t.co/dXQhHq5dOW
We highlight:
· Recent modeling methods/objectives
· Research gaps
· Strategies for improving model creation, validation, and communication with decision-makers
We had a great discussion on data sharing during the 2024 Emerging Leaders in Biosecurity Symposium #ELBI One way of framing this discussion is to understand what types of data need to be shared. I reflect on this below using the emergency management cycle

It is #WorldNTDDay and our preprint on yellow fever in Ghana is also online today. Yellow fever is a serious threat, especially in West Africa. Unfortunately, research on yellow fever remains neglected. We address this gap by examining outbreaks in Ghana

Yellow fever is a known climate sensitive disease, and we are working with colleagues in Africa to predict spread under climate change. It is good to see this important global health topic at #COP28
Today is #WorldAIDSDay2023 -an important time to reflect on how lucky us HIV providers are to work with passionate, kind & resilient patients; on the profound advancements in treating HIV; and how far we have to go to end the epidemic and reduce stigma @IDSA@HIVMA@JHMed_ID
Just had an inspiring meeting with @PeterHotez and clinicians, scientists, and community health workers @HopkinsMedicine about communicating science and breaking down academic silos as part of @medgreatergood
Looking forward to reading this and his talk at noon!
Excited to learn on this #OneHealthDay that CME self study credit will soon be available for those who use our online cases on the Medicine for a Changing Planet website. Any healthcare providers interested in learning about One Health should check out https://t.co/Wfs4mtRIlr
