The impact of exposure to natural vs synthetic environments on human moods and emotions. No surprises here, but I think EO Wilson and Stephen Kellert would be pleased. @ChrisBeyrer drives home the impact of environment and access to Nature on human health. @WOHCongress #biophilia

Data from multi year studies of flying foxes in Australia indicate that food shortages (in particular loss of native flowering trees) can reliably predict spillover events. Spillover events in Australia occur when Blue gums fail to flower. @WOHCongress @rainamontana @cornellvet

Do you collect empirical data on wildlife disease prevalence out in nature? Are you interested in being part of @viralemergence's next big experiment in open data sharing? Drop the host-pathogen system you study (and where!) in the replies, and we might reach out 👀 Please RT!

This plump-looking marine animal? It’s the granulated sea star, also known as the “doughboy starfish” for its portly look. You might spot it around reef habitats in shallow Indo-Pacific waters. On its menu are coral and other small invertebrates.⭐️

Uroplatus geckos are the best-camouflaged living vertebrates, change my mind. Just look at how this Uroplatus sp. aff. henkeli is upstaging that moth on the other side of the tree!

Remembering Curtis Mayfield, born on this day in 1942 in Chicago. Here he is performing “Move On Up” in 1972.

Several things I really love about this new @carlzimmer piece about our @Nature study out today. 1) It clearly describes our primary findings and why this matters in our warming world; ... https://t.co/22esePvBkA

Great feature/bio piece by @sciencecohen and photos by @laurendecicca, following my dear colleague and friend, Dr. Supaporn Wacharapluesadee, in Thailand. "On the hunt for new viruses, this bat-trapping scientist hopes to prevent future pandemics" https://t.co/eR2frRwi8B

funniest covid experience so far: waking up with half-dissolved cough drops in my mouth with no memory of how they got there. has happened multiple times now.

An aerial slow-motion ballet of grey-headed flying foxes for today as it’s #InternationalBatAppreciationDay ! What amazing critters, I can’t stop watching, filming and photographing them. Ever. #wildoz #bats @hammerheadbat #flyingfox

@BatConIntl Here it is! One of my zoonoses-themed tattoos, a dangerous sweetheart 💗 (done by Ian at Tengu Tattoo in Aurora, CO!)

A man goes to the doctor. Says, "Doc, I'm depressed." The doctor says, "The treatment is simple. Go to https://t.co/n5HT1NZnzC, where you can read about Verena's work, download open datasets and nearly 30 publications about the ecology of emerging viruses."

The masters of pollination: African long-tongued fruit bat 🥰. Their tongues are amazingly adapted for lapping nectar from flowers 🌺

We fed it some sugar water before it took off

Check out our latest publication in @Virus_Evolution where we present PhyCovA (short for "Phylogeographic Covariate Analysis"), a new tool for exploring covariates of pathogen spread: https://t.co/xchmY8ttMQ - 1/5

@bajablastCEO LOVE your tail :)

@davidwdowdy Thank you Dr. Dowdy! CMIDE was fun-challenging, but fun. You responded to my joining the ID Epi track with a smiley face in the email and I will never forget it. :)
