The Carlson Lab @ Yale
@carlsonlab.bsky.social
We work on planetary problems. Currently: counting climate change-related deaths; pandemic risk assessment in a changing biosphere; data, science, and vaccine access during public health emergencies. 👉 carlsonlab.bio
🚨 We're about to start reviewing applications, but there's still time to reach out for our postdoc position on climate change impact attribution! If you have experience with attribution science or climate epidemiology, and want to help us launch the Global Burden of Climate Change Study, reach out!

Last week's workshop on scenario development for pandemic risk assessment was a critical step forward for our broader effort on the establishment of an "IPCC for pandemics," with the UN Foundation and the National Academy of Medicine. Thank you to all of our amazing speakers and participants!

Last week, we were lucky to host an international workshop on Pandemic Risk Scenarios for the 21st Century, with generous support from PAX sapiens and @viralemergence.org. Lots of lessons learned from climate and biodiversity science on how to design useful models and imagine better futures!

We may have a one-year postdoctoral position opening! We're looking for someone with experience in attribution science OR very strong skills in climate epidemiology to come help us launch a Global Burden of Climate Change Study. Remote possible for the right person; aim to raise $ for a second year.

In a few weeks, we'll be publishing the finding that [redacted] people die every year because of climate change, equivalent to a loss of $[redacted]T USD, every year.

Here's what it costs us to open that publication to you. We have no federal grants for that work, and can't apply for them.

Hey YSPH students! Are you excited about climate change, zoonotic and vector-borne diseases, ecology, and global governance? We've got a new course for you! Check out EMD 568:

It's Research Day here at Yale EMD! Huge congrats to Shoa Moosavi on her project - the first study (hopefully of many!) to think about the epidemiological consequences of the PABS System.
