Health Effects of Climate Change-induced Wildfires and Heatwaves
Published in Cureus
Global warming is a phenomenon that is affecting society in sundry ways. As of 2017, Earth’s global surface temperature increased 0.9°C compared to the average temperature in the mid-1900s. Beyond this change in temperature lies significant threats to human health in the form of natural disasters and extreme temperatures. One natural disaster that ...
Developing a Comprehensive Data System to Further Continuous Improvement in California
Reports on a session of the PACE conference held on February 1, 2019, that brought together experts to discuss a set of essential questions California must consider as it develops a new coordinated data system.Governor Gavin Newsom’s budget proposal for 2019–2020 includes $10 million to develop a statewide longitudinal data system—including early e...
Atoxigenic Aspergillus flavus isolates endemic to almond, fig, and pistachio orchards in California with potential to re...
In California, aflatoxin contamination of almond, fig, and pistachio has become a serious problem in recent years due to long periods of drought and probably other climatic changes. The atoxigenic biocontrol product Aspergillus flavus AF36 has been registered for use to limit aflatoxin contamination of pistachio since 2012 and for use in almond and...

Fungal communities associated with almond throughout crop development: implications for aflatoxin biocontrol management ...
Open Access Journal / Interactions between pathogenic and nonpathogenic fungal species in the tree canopy are complex and can determine if disease will manifest in the plant and in other organisms such as honey bees. Seasonal dynamics of fungi were studied in an almond orchard in California where experimental release of the atoxigenic biopesticide ...
Divergent evolution of newborn screening: Israel and the US as gene worlds
Published in BioSocieties
Newborn Screening provides a critical case-study for the cross-cultural analysis of globalizing medical technologies. While the evidence-base that informs decisions of which conditions to screen is internationally accepted, the number of disorders screened for varies widely between countries. In this article, we explore the different ‘gene worlds’ ...
Characterizing the spatial-temporal distribution of California’s agricultural water utilization using a water footprint ...
Different activities utilize water resources at different rates, rely on different water sources, and thus have a different “footprint” in regard to their water demand. However, the water footprint of these activities differs depending on the region and the time when the activity occurs. In popular literature, the footprint metric has seen some suc...
