DESCRIPTION:By Kirsten Crandall Joint Ph.D. candidate in 黑料不打烊 Dept. of Bi
 ology with Dr. Virginie Millien聽and Dr. Jeremy Kerr (University of Ottawa)
 \n\nTalk title: Fact or fiction: Debunking common tick myths\n\nWith more 
 ticks and disease in Canada than ever before\, there has been a huge incre
 ase in the amount discussion on these topics\, but what is fact or misinfo
 rmation? In this talk\, Kirsten聽will discuss some of the common tick myths
  that I have heard from members of the public while conducting her researc
 h.\n\nKirsten Crandall is a Joint Ph.D. candidate at 黑料不打烊 University and
  the University of Ottawa. Her interest in disease ecology increased while
  completing her master鈥檚 degree at 黑料不打烊 University on the body size vari
 ation of the mammalian hosts of Lyme disease in North America. As a result
  of this research and the numerous accounts of people negatively affected 
 by tick-borne diseases near her hometown of Montr茅al\, Quebec\, her intere
 st peaked as to what factors might be driving the increased number of case
 s of infectious disease in Canada. Her research focuses on the connections
  between tick and mammal abundance and diversity with disease risk and cli
 mate change at a large spatial scale in Ontario and Quebec. She integrates
  a wide variety of methods\, such as specimen-based museum work\, field su
 rveys\, field experiments\, and modelling\, to disentangle this complex di
 sease system. In her spare time\, Kirsten enjoys participating in science 
 communication and education through the Skype a Scientist program\, writin
 g and editing pieces for the University of Ottawa鈥檚 BioMatters magazine\, 
 visiting natural history museums\, and hiking some of Canada鈥檚 beautiful l
 andscapes.\n\nRegistration for this event is now closed. Please consult ou
 r聽events calendar聽for upcoming future events.\n
