Erin Welsh

Erin Welsh, co-host of This Podcast Will Kill You, is an ecologist and epidemiologist whose graduate and post-graduate research delves into the epidemiology of human helminth infections as well as the environmental factors governing tick-borne disease transmission. As a science communicator, she is motivated by the need for engaging, high-quality educational content accessible to a broad audience, and she is passionate about using storytelling as a tool to integrate history, medicine, social science, and natural science. This Podcast Will Kill You, co-hosted by Erin Allmann Updyke, combines these goals by examining disease through a biological, historical, and epidemiological lens.
