ObjectivesPrevious research links increased care provision to worse wellbeing among family and friend caregivers, both before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We expand on this by incorporating data on caregivers' social networks and exploring the relationships between own and network changes in care during the pandemic and caregiver wellbeing.

It all started with the squirrels. My neighbor left peanuts out for the squirrels, who promptly brought them over to our house and buried them in the flower pots on our deck, digging up the flowers in the process. Once the peaches on our peach tree were the size of golf balls, the squirrel could be seen jumping into the tree, snatching a peach and running down the trunk headed for the fence where it defiantly ate it in full view of the peach’s owners.

New preprint out from my lab. Work led by grad student Brandon Simony. The title is also the summary: "Spillover rate is not predictive of host jump risk". https://t.co/KjUPXm65dR

Congrats to Beth Tuschhoff on her first first-author paper, in which she developed a new method that uses contact tracing data to detect and quantify heterogeneity in susceptibility. Uncorrected proofs out today at @PLOSCompBiol https://t.co/IdpSwB0jLc

Hi all, I'm in search of contact tracing data. Specifically, where some individuals have been exposed more than once and infection outcome is known (ideally the exposures would be temporally distant, but don't need to be). Willing to investigate any leads you may have.
