This is such an important paper!
Observational studies often fail to correct for nonrandom treatment bias...
When accounted for, treatment effects can switch signs! 🤯
Congrats @AllisonSimlerW!

Excited to see this analysis (led by the impressive @li_thal1) out in ecol. letters! Had tons of fun brainstorming w/ and learning from these smart folks about dilution effects & implications of quantifying disease in terms of individual risk v. aggregated observations. Go, Lisa!
YAY! Thrilled to share that “Suzie & the Eelgrass Geese” (a children's book written by wonderful @nmkollars, edited by the excellent @CarolynSotka, and illustrated by myself) is available to purchase, with proceeds supporting a research fund in honor of Dr. Susan Williams. (1/4)
Big thanks to the Bilinski foundation and Coastal Marine Sciences Institute (@ucd_cmsi) for supporting this work, and to the @PopBioUCD & @davis_egsa marine scientists who lent their knowledge & love of seagrass communities for illustration ideas! (3/4)
