Many thanks for all co-authors, participants, and the support from friends and family that made this project possible

Newly available malaria vaccines may be of use during disaster aftermath

Extreme weather events are common in high burden malaria settings. E.g., tropical cyclones (blue lines) in SE Africa (higher malaria burden areas shown in warmer colors)

Out today in Science: Our work on tropical cyclones and malaria in Madagascar. Work inspired by many and done in collaboration with many www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We are recruiting again! Looking for a student or students interested in a survey of chameleon parasite diversity in northern Madagascar 🇲🇬🇲🇬🇲🇬

Please see the link for full details. Taking the opportunity to add some chameleon photos from the proposed field sites
