Valley fever is endemic to the southwestern United States. Humans contract this fungal disease by inhaling spores of Coccidioides spp. Changes in environment can influence abundance and dispersal spp., causing fluctuations valley incidence. We combined county-level case records from state health agencies create a regional database for States, including Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah. used data set explore how environmental factors influenced spatial pattern temporal dynamics...
The dominant U.S. cultural norms shape science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), in turn, these science communication, further perpetuating oppressive systems. Despite being a core scientific skill, communication research practice lack inclusive training spaces that center marginalized identities. We address this need with healing-centered counterspace grounded the key principles of communication: ReclaimingSTEM. ReclaimingSTEM is policy space centers experiences, needs, wants...
In this case study analysis, we identified fungal traits that were associated with the responses of taxa to 4 global change factors: elevated CO2, warming and drying, increased precipitation, nitrogen (N) enrichment. We developed a trait-based framework predicting as increases limitation given nutrient, target nutrient will represent larger proportion community (and vice versa). addition, expected drying N enrichment would generate environmental stress for fungi may select tolerance traits....
We compiled a coccidioidomycosis (Valley fever) case database for three states in the southwestern United States (US). Currently, county-level, monthly counts are available from 2000–2015 Arizona, California, and Nevada. collected these data each respective state public health agency. The Valley fever is on GitHub, at https://github.com/valleyfever/valleyfevercasedata. This may be used to examine relationships between number of cases hypothesized explanatory variables such as environmental...
