What a pleasure to be hosting the biannual @healthgeographyrgs.bsky.social PGR/ECR conference this year in Bristol! ✨ Wonderful papers on our first cluster "blue bodies" 🌊🌊 thank you for the funding, @rgsibg.bsky.social

Thrilled to share that I’ve been awarded a @ukri.org Future Leaders Fellowship! My lab will focus on embedding #equity in #health surveillance with #GeoAI to map how socio-environmental & individual vulnerabilities shape #disease risk.

New #article from Li et al: A pyramid of human ecology of disease for pandemic preparedness
TL;DR: combine the triangle of human ecology and the triangle of disease ecology into a unified pyramid model.

How do human–environment interactions shape the spread of disease? Excited to share this theoretical contribution, now published in Social Science and Medicine. Co-authored with Mike Emch (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill).

If you want to predict spatial outcomes based on contextual factors, this package is for you! henryspatialanalysis.github.io/mbg/

Very pleased to have played a role in this important project!!

Out in @plos.org NTD! Our paper explores changes in dengue transmission in Southeast Asia before/after COVID-19. The pandemic has altered exposure-response relationship at both national and regional levels. Led by Wei Luo (National U of Singapore) and Zhihao Liu (U of Hong Kong).

New paper! Using the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey, we look at how exposure to residential natural outdoor environments, such as green spaces and freshwater blue spaces, affects cognitive competence of older adults in China. Led by Anqi Chen and Kai Cao, link to paper below.

🚨 We're interested in convening a panel for the @rgsibg.bsky.social Annual Conference 2025 with 5 minute quickfire talks from current health geography PGRs, introducing their work & how they relate to the overall theme of creative geographies

Please get in touch if you are interested :)
