Joel Cohen
It has been a long time since humans thought of themselves as the prey of other species. But when Joel Cohen summarizes his research, it makes a person think twice about his or her comfortable perch at the top of the food chain. “I focus on human relations with the species we eat (agriculture) and on human relations with the species that eat us (infectious diseases),” says Cohen.
Cohen’s fields of interest are demography, ecology, epidemiology, infectious diseases, mathematical models, population genetics and public health. In his book “How Many People Can the Earth Support?” he examined how the interaction of natural constraints with human choices affects the Earth’s human carrying capacity. Cohen says, “For me, the most exciting aspect of my research is the three-way interplay among theoretical ideas, empirical observations and data-analytical methods. I am trying to understand better the place of the human species in the community of species with which we share this planet.”

The Laboratory of Populations studies the health of human and non-human populations quantitatively, including births, deaths, and migration; Chagas disease; COVID-19; farms, fisheries, forests, wildlife, food webs, and weather; and cellular and molecular populations. The lab uses mathematical, statistical, and computational tools, existing and newly developed, in collaborations that cross disciplinary, institutional, and national boundaries.
The human species is a node in a network of feeding relationships, known as a “food web,” with thousands of other species. Species that humans eat are conventionally studied as part of agriculture, agroforestry, or fisheries. Species that eat humans, which are often the agents or vectors of infectious diseases, are studied in epidemiology and human microbiome research. Humans, the species humans eat, and the species that eat humans are nodes in a global food web, studied in ecology. The global food web includes many species not directly linked to humans by feeding and strongly interacts with the physical and chemical environment
