We just opened up some more spots for this Thursday's event (found more chairs babbyy)

We'll be creating art that communicates important messages & learning about work happening in your city.

Bad art for good usually focuses on environmental messaging but right now there’s…other messaging to focus on. And I think the more of that we have around the city the merrier, wouldn’t you agree?

So come on over on Jan 27th, I’ll give you snacks and beer and art supplies.

Microbial Evolution: Impacts on Human Health

Call for Papers

A defining characteristic of infectious diseases is that they evolve. The consequences of this evolution are among the most pressing medical issues facing humanity, including emerging pandemics, antibiotic resistance, and the success or failure of vaccines. Pathogen evolution profoundly influences virulence, transmission, and responses to a broad array of human interventions. While the evolutionary dynamics of pathogens have historically been challenging to study, large-scale genomic sequencing, novel computational tools, and experimental methods are rapidly changing the field. We encourage submissions on the broad topic of the evolution of infectious diseases.

This Special Issue aims to feature research that blends evolutionary approaches to understanding pathogen heterogeneity and ongoing genetic change in clinical samples and models of human infection. It also seeks to highlight opportunities to design treatment and prevention strategies that remain effective in the face of ongoing pathogen evolution.

Submission – open until January 31, 2027

Guest editors
Robert Woods, MD PhD, University of Michigan
Camilo Barbosa, PhD, University of Michigan
