More than warming: climate change is transforming the landscape of vector-borne diseases. CCDD ID Epi Seminar Series. Thursday, May 8, 2025. 1-2PM ET. FXB G12 and Zoom. Erin Mordecai’s research focuses on the ecology of infectious disease. She is interested in how climate, species interactions, and global change drive infectious disease dynamics in humans and natural ecosystems. This research combines mathematical modeling and empirical work. Erin finished her PhD in 2012 at the University of California Santa Barbara in Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology. She then completed a 2-year NSF postdoctoral research fellowship in the Intersection of Biology and Mathematical and Physical Sciences and Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University. Erin has been at Stanford since January 2015. Speakers will share their own perspectives and do not speak for Harvard.

Modeling human behavior to understanding infectious disease dynamics – examples of population-level mobility and injecting behaviors of people who use injection drugs. CCDD ID Epi Seminar Series. Thursday, 1 May 2025. 1-2PM ET, Kresge G2 and Zoom. Amy Wesolowski is an Associate Professor of Epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She obtained her PhD in Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University and was a postdoctoral fellow at HSPH and Princeton University. Her research focuses on understanding human behavior and how it relates to infectious disease transmission. She works on multiple pathogens including malaria, measles, and HCV. Register at hsph.me/IDEPI25. Speakers will share their own perspectives and do not speak for Harvard.

20th Freeman-Seage Symposium. Tuesday, April 29, 2025. Open to the Harvard Longwood Community. Oral presentations from 1:30-4:30PM in Kresge G3, Poster reception from 4:45-6:30PM in the FXB Atrium. Please join us for presentations by faculty, students, and postdocs highlighting Infectious Disease Epidemiology topics. This event honors two renowned faculty members, Jonathan Freeman (pictured left) and George Seage (pictured right) for their leadership and contributions to the field. Jonathan Freeman initiated infectious disease epidemiology as a field of study at HSPH from 1990 until 2000. George Seage led the Interdisciplinary Program in Infectious Disease Epidemiology from 1999 until 2021. Visit hsph.me/FreemanSeage to register.
