Thrilled to be part of the Cal Academy fellows! Congrats to all the new inductees!
Congrats & welcome to our 14 new Academy Fellows and 4 distinguished award-winners! We are delighted to include these leaders alongside our 500+ previous Fellows, selected for their contributions to scientific research and public engagement.

My morning is going pretty well. But boy oh boy are there a lot of ticks on these Lyme disease reservoirs! Remember it is tick season! Tick check yourselves!
And to round out an eventful week of presentations, master’s student, Mariah Cuyson, won third place at the college of science research showcase! Congratulations!
From research tech, to NSF REPS fellow, to @SweiLab graduate student extraordinaire, and now with a master’s degree conferred: presenting Shannon Summers at her master’s thesis defense! Congratulations! Thanks to her committee members @wavingfrog and @chavecito76
So impressed with the work that masters student, Alice Truong, has accomplished as an #ARCS scholar.
So proud of master’s student Mariah and the work she has done as an #ARCS scholar. Can’t wait to see what she discovers about host bloodmeal impacts on tick microbiomes.
Are you student or postdoc in the Pacific Southwest region and interested in preventing vector-borne disease? You can apply for a 1-year training grant with the PacVec Center of Excellence! More info here: pacvec.us/training-grant-pro…
Trying to clean out the freezer and do some meal planning but you are a biologist married to a biologist.

It's the beginning of summer and I am so excited because today I actually got to read a book chapter!

Congratulations to @Sweilab graduate student, Maxwell Newton, on presenting his thesis work at the Northern California Parasitologist meeting and receiving the best student paper award! Shown here with NCP President Dr. Pascale Guiton (photo credit Dr. Judy Sakanari).
Tallying up the numbers and over the last 7 field seasons students in my lab collected and ID'd ...21,373 ticks! That's a lot of ticks!
It's not too late to apply for this postdoc opportunity in San Francisco, CA to study biodiversity, habitat fragmentation, and tick-borne disease risk!
Is analyzing tons of data your idea of a good time? Then have I got the postdoc for you! @Sweilab is looking for a postdoc in vector ecology to study host community impacts on tick-borne disease ecology: sites.google.com/view/sweila…
Great day today. Got to train several students on the wonders of small mammal trapping and caught a chipmunk yippee!
It’s a beautiful day to learn about experimental field and vector ecology. Students in my disease ecology class test hypotheses of riskiest habitats for tick encounters.
