Faculty Cluster Hire in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, & Infectious Disease Dynamics
The University of Georgia is hiring a cluster of eight tenure-track or tenured faculty in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Infectious Disease Dynamics through a Presidential Faculty Hiring Initiative over two years, five with target start date in August 2022 and three with target start date in August 2023. This […]
Spillover of zoonotic pathogens: A review of reviews
The authors of this paper systematically reviewed a collection of 88 review papers from 10 disciplines with four distinct goals in mind. They wanted to describe key elements in main spillover processes, identify disciplines that discuss spillover and compare their foci, identify shared interest across disciplines, and summarize gaps in […]
A computational approach to tracking Western Honeybee tasks based on age
Apis mellifera, or the Western Honeybee, is the most common honeybee. Past research has indicated the Western Honeybee takes on different responsibilities within the hive as they age (referred to as age-based polytheism). The system does depend on context, meaning if older bees die out, younger bees will take on […]
Targeted methods to control the spread of COVID-19
Two models exploring how targeted interventions can be used to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2, rather than harsh social distancing mandates like school and workplace closures, have been published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Written by researchers associated with the University of Georgia’s Center for the Ecology of […]
CEID Launches the Global Infectious Disease Intelligence Consortium (GIDIC)
The Center for the Ecology of Infectious Diseases has launched the Global Infectious Disease Intelligence Consortium (GIDIC) to bring together leaders in academic, government agencies, industry, and NGOs who need to be aware of emerging infectious diseases. Designed to provide members with Infectious Disease Intelligence, GIDIC’s vision is that a […]
Infectious Disease Intelligence: Predicting the Next Pandemic
Can we predict the emergence and spillover of infectious diseases like Ebola or COVID-19? Can we develop an infectious disease warning system that is analogous to weather forecasts, that pinpoints the origin and path of disease spread? On March 24th at Noon Eastern, John Drake will deliver a webinar with […]

New model highlights continued COVID-19 risks
A new model posted by the University of Georgia’s Center for the Ecology of Infectious Diseases shows that the pandemic is not slowing down in the United States. Unlike other COVID-19 mathematical models, the CEID’s model ties together three social distancing scenarios and hard-to-measure interventions like hand washing and wearing a face covering to […]
