More to science: working as a Science Artist
What is your scientific background? I studied geology and zoology at the University of Michigan, graduating in 1980 with a BS in Geology. I went on to receive a MS in Paleontology in 1983 from the University of Wyoming studying fossil mammals of the Paleocene. How did you transition from the lab to your current job? After graduate school, I spent time raising my children as a stay at home mom. I wanted my children to have a strong science education, so I volunteered in my children’s school and took the lead in enriching the science curriculum. I invited local scientists to come and speak to students, I ran the school sci...

Bluetongue, Schmallenberg - what is next? Culicoides-borne viral diseases in the 21st Century
In the past decade, two pathogens transmitted by Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), bluetongue virus and Schmallenberg virus, have caused serious economic losses to the European livestock industry, most notably affecting sheep and cattle. These outbreaks of arboviral disease have highlighted large knowledge gaps on the biology and ecology of indigenous Culicoides species. With these research gaps in mind, and as a means of assessing what potential disease outbreaks to expect in the future, an international workshop was held in May 2013 at Wageningen University, The Netherlands. It brought together researc...
