Hey academia

Your friendly reminder that capability is not the same as capacity

Just because you have the capability to do the extra task, doesn’t mean you have the capacity.

And there's a strong climate change signal in this ongoing record heat:

The Tropical Atlantic has never been this hot before in May.

A severe marine heatwave has developed across much of the Tropical Atlantic and Caribbean, with water temperatures up to 5-7°F above normal in some areas.

Water temperatures in the Caribbean have already exceeded

New preprint: The anthropogenic fingerprint on emerging infectious diseases.
What drivers can we find in the data available for outbreak geography? Is there a 'fingerprint'? See more below, and kudos to the whole team on this multi-year effort!

Outlandish is a delightfully understated way of saying it. Look at this chart, look at the threads below. Be concerned. This is real.

📢NEW REPORT!

Last year Wellcome commissioned a landscaping report to synthesise the evidence on gaps, barriers, and opportunities for attributing anthropogenic climate change impacts on human health.

The report, led by Colin Carlson is live now

UF Geo and Emerging Pathogens Institute Sadie Ryan and Cat Lippi coauthored this report as part of a Wellcome project landscaping methods for detection and attribution of climate-health impacts

Last year, Wellcome asked a group of experts to write a new report on the emerging state of the art for the formal methods that climate scientists use to measure the human health impacts of human-caused climate change. That report is out now 👇 wellcomeopenresearch.org/documents/9-245

Yes, after a long struggle with the wiring, I managed to turn them on for you last night.

Mosquito Awareness Week is an opportunity for all of us to work together to eliminate breeding sites, stop the spread of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika, and protect our communities, especially before and during the rainy season.

United for health!

'vaccination has averted 154 million deaths'

WHO launched the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) in 1974 to make life-saving vaccines available to all.

On the 50th anniversary of EPI, authors quantify the public health impact of vaccination: hubs.li/Q02w0Qpd0
