🚨New Paper🚨

Excited to share my latest @sbohvm.gla.ac.uk PhD research with @strandings.bsky.social which used machine learning to reveal patterns in harbour porpoise pathology, showing how necropsy data can provide population level insights into cetacean health

I couldn't find one, so I decided to put together a starter pack of folk working on the evolutionary ecology of host-pathogen interactions, eco-immunology, or similar. I know I've missed many (sorry) so please share and let me know if you want to be added (or removed).
