Notes by user Andrew P. Dobson (Princeton) for Aging and Adaptation in Infectious Diseases

Post-meeting Reflection

1+ paragraphs on any combination of the following:

  • Presentation highlights
  • Open questions that came up
  • How your perspective changed
  • Impact on your own work
  • e.g. the discussion on [A] that we are having reminds me of [B] conference/[C] initiative/[D] funding call-for-proposal/[E] research group

Assemble a talk that describes non-human examples of how host exposure and response to pathogens and disease changes with age.

Describe ways of quantifying age-dependent changes in exposure.

Discuss possible dynamic consequences in variation in duration of incubation and infectivity with age.

Describe models for parasitic nematodes of different sizes living as a community of worms in hosts of different sizes.

Illustrate recent work with Ian Hatton on body size scaling of vital rates from Algae to Elephants - use this to suggest we could use this scaling for models of immune system in mammals (from bats and mice to elephants and whales).

Reference material notes

Some examples:

  • Here is [A] database on [B] that I pull data from to do [C] analysis that might be of interest to this group (insert link).
  • Here is a free tool for calculating [ABC] (insert link)
  • This painting/sculpture/forms of artwork is emblematic to our discussion on [X]!
  • Schwartz et al. 2017 offers a review on [ABC] migration as relate to climatic factors (add the reference as well).
