\begin{abstract}
Hi Reddit, My name is Lillian L. M. Shapiro and I am a postdoctoral
scientist at Vanderbilt University. My research focuses on how
environmental changes affect the biology of mosquitoes and the diseases
they transmit. I recently published a methods \& resources study titled
``Quantifying the effects of temperature on mosquito and parasite traits
that determine the transmission potential of human malaria'' in PLOS
Biology. This work was part of my PhD studies and concerns how
temperature shapes mosquito and malaria parasite traits, and how changes
in these traits impact malaria transmission. We found that warmer
temperatures increase the potential of malaria transmission up to about
26\selectlanguage{ngerman}ºC (79ºF), but temperatures hotter than this may actually decrease
risk, suggesting that the range where malaria can flourish could shift
geographically under predicted climate change scenarios. I will be
answering your questions at 1pm ET. Ask me Anything! EDIT: Because this
AMA started a little late, I can continue answering questions (today)
beyond the normal 2pm ET cutoff, I just might be a little bit slower in
responding.%
