It's really looking like Twitter is beginning to die for science. So many people are joining Bluesky. I joined ages ago, but there wasn't much of a community. Times have changed! bsky.app/profile/drstevenmwh…

Following the identification of further bluetongue BTV-3 cases, the Restricted Zone has been extended to include the Isle of Wight, part of North Yorkshire and part of Oxfordshire. See the BTV-3 map & GOV.UK for info: gov.uk/bluetongue.

One of the @OneHealthPACT papers, by PhD students Kiki Strand and Nnomzie Atama, sampling poultry at petting zoos, as part of an endeavour to understand arbovirus circulation. Turns out: clear evidence for ongoing exposures to West Nile pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3929…

It is remarkable how often process based models are published in ecology without validating them against empirical data In this paper we worked hard to validate our models of landscape use by birds, bats, reptiles and amphibians against real world data link.springer.com/article/10…

A new project will review how climate and land use change, and the ways we deal with them, will affect the spread of some diseases that pose a particular threat to humans, animals or plants. PrepSense is led by @drstevenmwhite 🌱🦌 Read more: ceh.ac.uk/news-and-media/new…
