ICCB 2025 – Let’s Connect!

I'm a PhD student at UW working with the Smithsonian and Center for One Health Research. I develop models to predict and explain zoonotic disease patterns, with a strong emphasis on how these diseases impact wildlife populations and communities sharing the same landscape.

Hi Everyone,

I’m excited to be attending my first ICCB 2025 as a student presenter and early-career researcher! My work sits at the intersection of computational epidemiology and conservation, and I’m eager to expand my network within the wildlife and conservation space.

For those who've attended before, I'd love to hear your best tips for making the most of networking opportunities, especially strategies for connecting with potential collaborators and mentors. Anyone else attending? I’d love to meet up and chat - especially with anyone using novel tech tools in wildlife health.

Hi everyone, I’m excited to become a member of Wild Lab! I’m currently working on my master’s thesis, focusing on dormouse conservation. My research explores the behavioral responses of dormice to temperature and habitat patterns using camera trap data.

Additionally, I’d like to incorporate agent-based modeling to simulate species behavior. However, I’m a bit unsure about how to effectively apply modeling for predictions. If anyone here has experience with modeling, I’d love to connect and discuss!

Looking forward to learning from you all.

Best regards,

Alex Rood

Hi Stephanie,

It’s great to hear about your exciting work and that you’ll be attending ICCB 2025 — congratulations on presenting!

The Savannah Tracking team is participating at the exhibition, and we’d love for you to stop by our booth 15.

Given your previous interest in collaring domestic dogs and collecting high-resolution GPS data, it might be a great opportunity for us to connect in person and dive deeper into how our lightweight collar solutions — like those currently deployed on Dingoes — could support your project. We'd be happy to show you how our satellite-enabled collars work, demo our data platforms, and explore a potential fit for your needs.
