A free lecture presented by Dr. Kathryn Fiorella, Assistant Professor, Cornell’s Department of Public & Ecosystem Health
Fish are touted as sustainable and nutritious, but growing global demand for fish and expanding aquaculture are quickly reshaping these food systems. At the same time, our global freshwaters are experiencing the most dramatic falls in biodiversity and wild fisheries will continue to be a major source of food. As aquatic food systems and environments are revamped, what does that mean for the people who live and work within these systems? How does it impact their choices about...

The National Academy of Science and Engineering's Forum in Microbial Threats will host a public workshop to examine cases where genomics technologies have been applied successfully to disease surveillance and response, highlight key characteristics of these technologies' impact, and identify potential opportunities for broader adoption in public health. High-throughput and increasingly affordable genome sequencing technologies have enabled the use of pathogen genomics and metagenomics as powerful data-driven disease surveillance approaches. These epidemiological tools have been critical in...

Women play important roles in preventing foodborne diseases throughout the food system, from agricultural production and food processing to vending and home meal preparation. Understanding gender dynamics in value chains and households can inform more effective food safety practices, policies, and outreach. This webinar will share insights from Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Safety projects on engaging and empowering women in aquaculture (Bangladesh), produce production (Cambodia), and household food safety (Nigeria).

This conference will focus on teaching approaches that encourage and support veterinary students’ reflection on their learning experiences, and the development of lifelong learning skills through self-regulated learning. These will be examined in the context of both classroom settings and the clinical learning environment, and the implications for students’ academic achievement, the development of clinical skills, and wellbeing will be considered. Keynote speakers will address topics such as narrative medicine, principles of self-regulated learning, metacognition, feedback, and evaluation.

Progress in food safety is driven by behavior change. A better understanding of the beliefs, motivations, and economic pressures that influence food safety behaviors can yield more effective outreach programs and policy recommendations. This webinar will provide insights from Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Safety projects on food safety and social behavioral change among consumers, producers, and vendors in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal, and Senegal.

Title: "Far From Home: T Cell Migration Through Non-Lymphoid Tissues"
By: Susan Schwab, NYU Grossman School of Medicine
"Pathogenesis of enteric fever"
Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi cause a prolonged illness known as enteric fever, whereas other Salmonella serovars cause gastroenteritis. Emergent multidrug resistance has increased the challenge posed by Salmonella infections, particularly in Asia and Africa. This presentation will describe new insights into pathogenic mechanisms of S. Typhi and S. Paratyphi A that distinguish them from nontyphoidal Salmonella serovars.

Title: "Interorgan Communication in Host Defense"
By: Matt Waldor, Harvard University
Most existing and emerging infectious diseases have their origin in animal populations. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic the need to understand the cause and impacts of wildlife diseases, as well as how to manage them, has only become increasingly salient.
Join us for a live, hybrid Chats in the Stacks book talk with Robin Radcliffe, associate professor of practice in Wildlife and Conservation Medicine in the Veterinary School, and David Jessup, former senior wildlife veterinarian of the California Department of Fish and Game and former executive manager of the Wildlife Disease...

"The Economics of Pandemic Prevention and Control: An Overview"
We will discuss the epi-econ approach, which combines epidemiological and economic modeling to address some of the shortcomings of traditional epidemiological models, notably the absence of explicit modeling of incentives and of strategic behavior by individuals and by policy-makers. These models treat pandemic spillover as an exogenous shock. Yet, unlike earthquakes or asteroid events, pandemic emergence results partly from human activities, including value chains for livestock, farming and hunting, tourism in wild landscapes...
