Our PhD student Julian Heidecke attended the 23rd European Society for Vector Ecology Conference ESOVE 2024 held in Montpellier from 14-17 October 2024.
He presented his research on West Nile virus thermal biology introducing a new statistical framework to estimate the temperature sensitivity of mosquito-pathogen traits and WNV transmission suitability.
When humour meets science, fantastic things can happen that convey powerful messages! Enjoy the new cartoons Betje has created for the IDAlert project.
Together with colleagues from Hei-Planet, Lund University, and Umeå University, Julian Heidecke recently published the paper “Uncovering temperature sensitivity of West Nile virus (WNV) transmission: Novel computational approaches to mosquito-pathogen trait responses” in PLOS Computational Biology.
In January 2025, Prof. Dr. Joacim Rocklöv and Dr. Marina Treskova visited the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) in Cape Town, South Africa, and shared their expertise with students on the role of AI in public health and the application of data-driven approaches to real-world problems.
On January 14, 2025, the AfroGrow project held its virtual kick-off meeting, officially launching this EU-funded initiative dedicated to advancing agroforestry Living Labs for sustainable African growth.
The Hei-Planet team gathered on 17 December 2024 for a festive pre-Christmas social event to celebrate the holiday season and welcome the upcoming new year.
