Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases (EEID) Journal Club, Jan. 23, 2025

This journal club will explore concepts in the field of ecology and evolution of infectious diseases. This exciting field is an area of study that has developed rapidly over the past four decades and addresses some of the most significant challenges to human health and conservation. Throughout the semester, participants will read and discuss current papers that highlight a diversity of parasitic organisms (arguably the most abundant life forms on the planet); how these organisms invade, spread, and regulate host populations; and the evolutionary forces shaping infectious disease dynamics. Graduate students may enroll in this journal club as a seminar course, but postdocs and faculty are also welcome to attend and to lead discussion.
