Changes in temperature and rainfall mean that mosquitos and ticks that transmit disease become more plentiful and affect more regions of the U.S. and the rest of the world. More destructive storms destroy public health infrastructure and expose more people to water-borne diseases. Changes in humidity increase the risk of illnesses being spread through bodily fluids. \nLearn more about these impacts from two environmental health experts and story ideas to illuminate how climate change is changing the spread of disease in animals and people. \n\n\nAaron Bernstein\, M.D.\, M.P.H.\, pediatric hospitalist\, and co-director\, Boston Children’s Hospital and the Harvard T.H.

As part of our partnership with Wiley we offer members access to an educational series of webinars called Science Talks that are brought to you by The Wiley Network. \nThe next webinar\, Science Talks with the Society for Applied Microbiology will take place on Tuesday\, Jan. 22\, at 11 am ET. In this session\, Understanding Antimicrobial Resistance\, media will learn: \n\n\nA brief history of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and how it occurs.  \n\n\nWhat are the leading causes of microbes/bacteria becoming resistant to drug treatments? \n\n\nWhat threat does antimicrobial resistance pose to humans? \n\n\nHow are scientists fighting back against antimicrobial resistance? \n\n\nAMR expert sources to use in news stories \n\n\nTreatment options available now and in the future \n\n\nThe webinar will include time for questions and answers. \nHOW TO REGISTER \nScience Talks webinars are complimentary to AHCJ members. Register for Science Talks today! \nIf you are not able to attend the live one-hour session the webinars will be recorded for later viewing on the AHCJ website. \n\n\nAbout the speakers \nDr. Lucy Harper is chief executive of the Society for Applied Microbiology. After completing a B.Sc. in medical biochemistry at Birmingham University\, Harper worked in hospital laboratories and university departments across the West Midlands. In 2003 she completed a doctorate\, “Renal Dopamine and Salt-Sensitive Hypertension\,” and continued her research career\, completing several postdoc projects. During this time\, Harper also taught molecular biology practical classes to final year B.Sc. students and spent her spare time writing articles. Through this experience she decided that her passion for science came from talking about it rather than doing it. She was offered the honorary editorship of Microbiologist magazine and when her postdoc contract ended\, she took the position of communications officer for Med-Vet-Net\, the EU FP6 project on zoonotic disease. Harper began working as communications officer for SfAM in June 2006. Since then\, she has developed SfAMs Communications remit and in June 2009 she was promoted to communications manager. In 2010 Harper was awarded an M.B.A. with distinction\, which she completed part-time at Aston University. After a period of maternity leave\, Harper returned to the Society as deputy CEO\, and was then appointed as chief executive in November 2014. \nDr. Mark Fielder is president of the Society for Applied Microbiology. Fielder began his career at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath where he became a trainee Biomedical Scientist. He completed a microbiology degree at Kings College\, London\, and followed that with a doctorate in microbiology and immunology\, working on bacterial causes of rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Following this he won the Tadion Rideal prize for outstanding post-graduate work in molecular science. Fielder then moved on to St. George’s Hospital medical school to work with Professor David Lewis and Professor George Griffin on the use of Cholera toxin and the heat labile toxins of E. coli as adjuvants for mucosal vaccines. Following this\, he became a lecturer at Kingston University which is where he is currently based and in 2011 became professor of medical microbiology. \nAbout The Wiley Network \nWiley believes the most successful individuals never stop learning.
