🚨 Another major round of #NSF terminations today 😞. Please report and encourage your colleagues to as well! We need this info to shed light on the damage caused, and to organize and advocate for science that includes and benefits all. airtable.com/appGKlSVeXni... 🧪

Took some time to check out some Alabama 🦇s this week with colleagues here at Auburn CFWE. Lots of good finds in the culverts here! 🦊🧪

bats are immunologically "special", but bat species also differ in their immune response. we gather evidence for interspecific variation in bat immunity, propose hypotheses, and outline future comparative directions. i've really enjoyed working with this ECR team.

lots of disease ecology and ecoimmunology work from the lab this year at #SICB2025. be sure to check out talks and posters as well as Symposium 8 on applied ecoimmunology in wildlife health and conservation!

Excited to share my first postdoc manuscript! @danjbecker.bsky.social and I created frameworks for understanding how cross-species transmission is driven by phylogenetic relatedness between co-roosting species, and its impact on roost infection prevalence. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

If I’m not too late, could I be added to the Science feed? mollysimonis.weebly.com

Interests, yes! But I personally have not practiced landscape aspects of EIDs

(full disclosure that I am applying to this)

Just getting started on bsky, so let me introduce myself: I am an integrated scientist interested in disease ecology, physiology and ecoimmunology. I research how wildlife health changes under disturbance, and how those changes can impact wildlife populations, particularly for small mammals like 🦇s
