=== Countdown to Zero: Defeating Disease===
=== Countdown to Zero: Defeating Disease===
A collaboration with the Carter Center, this exhibition highlights the scientific and social innovations that are ridding the world of ancient afflictions with a focus on several global efforts that have been able to contain, eliminate, or eradicate disease. Chief among these is the 30-year campaign that may soon eradicate Guinea worm disease, positioning it to become only the second human disease ever eradicated, after smallpox. The exhibition also highlights the ongoing programs to eliminate polio and prospects for more localized elimination of river blindness, lymphatic filariasis, and malaria.

Scientific career
Fields

Mark E. Siddall is a Canadian[1] invertebrate zoologist, data scientist and infectious disease expert.[2]

Siddall's research has focused on the diversity and evolutionary biology of a wide range of parasites, from single-celled microbes to leeches. He has led expeditions throughout the world, most recently including South Sudan, Cambodia, the Lower Amazon of Brazil, and Madagascar. His work ranges from sequencing the whole genome of bed bugs uncovering hemotoxic venom compounds in blood feeding animals, to leveraging iDNA as a measure of endangered animal diversity in protected tropical forests.[3] In addition to over 160 peer reviewed publications,[4] he is author of the whimsical[3] book “Poison: Sinister species with deadly consequences”.[5] Siddall is a committed science communicator making frequent public program appearances, at venues around New York City and more widely; even garnering recognition from the Entertainment Exchange of the National Academy of Sciences.[3] He has curated of the Irma and Paul Milstein Family Hall of Ocean Life and other exhibitions including The Power of Poison, Life at the Limits: Stories of Amazing Species, Picturing Science, Undersea Oasis and Countdown to Zero: Defeating Disease[3] in collaboration with President Jimmy Carter. Siddall received his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1994, is a recipient of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, the Henry Baldwin Ward Medal from the American Society of Parasitologists and is a Fellow of The Explorers Club.[3]

Education

Siddall completed a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology and Immunology, a Masters[6] and PhD in Parasitology[7] under the supervision of Sherwin S. Desser and Bob Murphy at the University of Toronto in 1988, 1991 and 1994, respectively.[8]

Research

Siddall procured millions of dollars in grant funding for the American Museum of Natural History from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and several private foundations.[9] He has an h-index of 50 having authored 169 peer-reviewed publications that have been cited over 9,000 times.[4] Siddall's expertise covers the biodiversity, detection and disease roles of pathogens and how they inform socioeconomic and ecosystem health.[4] His international field work has covered more than 30 countries across South America, Asia and Africa, mostly in developing countries including the Carter Center's program in South Sudan.[10]

He has actively engaged the transformation of DNA sequencing from the days of reading radioactive traces by-eye to the current next-gen (NGS) frameworks and their myriad applications. At the Institute of Comparative Genomics, Siddall was central to the American Museum of Natural History adopting and leveraging emergent DNA sequencing technologies to advance biodiversity sciences.[11]

He has sequenced whole animal genomes from scratch (i.e., unguided “de novo”) leveraging Illumina, Moleculo, and PacBio for the Bed Bug genome, and most recently 10x Genomics for the whole genome of the Medicinal Leech.[12] His published work includes RNAseq transcriptomics, much of which is tissue-specific (e.g., anticoagulants in salivary gland cells of blood-feeding vectors).[12]

Siddall's research ranges from genome-wide screens of tuberculosis against immune system reporter genes to deep metagenomic assessments of biodiversity and their associated microbiomes.[4] He has innovated on environmental DNA (eDNA/iDNA), metagenomics and high-resolution scientific imaging,[4] much of which was translated for public consumption in the award-winning exhibition (Picturing Science).

He has published extensively on leech, biology, biodiversity and systematics.[13][14][15]

Communicating Science

Siddall has presented his passion for parasites and biological sciences for a wide range of audiences including TED,[16] The Pebble Beach Authors and Ideas Festival,[17] Play Fair, Comic Con,[18] Idea City,[19] the Northeastern Society of Scientific Skeptics, the Humanist Society,[20] as well as multiple appearances on Star Talk with Neil de Grasse Tyson, appearances at the EG Conference,[21] The National Academy of Sciences,[22][23] The New York Academy of Sciences, The World Science Festival,[24][25][26][27] New York's Secret Science Club[28][29] and the Explorers Club.[3][30]

He has been invited to participate in public panel programs with Jimmy Carter and Tom Frieden regarding disease eradication,[31] at the Carter Center,[32] the Social Good Summit,[33] and the World Economic Forum.[34] He has himself hosted panel programs concerning Big Data,[35] and especially disease eradication at the Carter Center[32] and at the World Health Organization[34] while also serving as host and Chair of Public Programs at the Explorers Club.[36]

Siddall's own popular writing has appeared in The New Yorker,[37] Natural History,[38] the Huffington Post,[39] Discover[40] and Rotunda.[41] His research and public outreach have been covered widely in print and other media including the New York Times,[42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] the Wall Street Journal,[51][52][53] Business Insider,[2] the Atlantic,[54] Slate,[55] The New Yorker,[56] the Verge,[57] Wired,[58] Scientific American,[59] Inverse[60] and Popular Mechanics.[61]

Exhibitions

Picturing Science

More than 20 sets of striking large-format prints, showcasing advanced imaging technologies used by scientists at AMNH (e.g., CT, SEM, fluorescence, histology) and revealing once-hidden, intricate details of both natural phenomena and cultural artifacts. One of the longest running exhibitions ever mounted by the museum, and one that includes research from all divisions of science. The video produced for YouTube garnered the museum's first and only Webby award.[62]

Power of Poison

Explores poison's paradoxical roles in nature, human health and history, literature, and myth. From toxic species that live in a remote Colombian forest, where poisons are just one of many tools in organisms’ struggles to survive, to familiar tales of illness, enchantment, or death by poison—a feature of countless fairytales, myths, and legends from around the world. History's most intriguing poisoning cases, many of which remain puzzling today, lead into a live presentation about a real-world poisoning case and key advances in toxicology, the science of detecting poison and the use of poisons in medicine. NYTimes critic Ed Rothstien wrote of Siddall's efforts: “deft curatorial alchemy... one of the most theatrical exhibitions the museum has mounted.”[44]

Life at the Limits / Nature's Superheroes

This exhibition reveals the diverse and sometimes jaw-dropping strategies animals and plants use to reproduce, find food, sense the world around them, and thrive in inhospitable habitats. Over billions of years, living things have evolved from simple cells into an awe-inspiring array of life forms—a spectacle of behaviors, specialized parts, and exacting skills. Some species are familiar. But others are so amazing that they test the limits of our imagination. Life-size and larger-than-life models, live animals, videos, and interactive exhibits highlight a variety of 'superpowers' across the tree of life

Countdown to Zero: Defeating Disease

A collaboration with the Carter Center, this exhibition highlights the scientific and social innovations that are ridding the world of ancient afflictions with a focus on several global efforts that have been able to contain, eliminate, or eradicate disease. Chief among these is the 30-year campaign that may soon eradicate Guinea worm disease, positioning it to become only the second human disease ever eradicated, after smallpox. The exhibition also highlights the ongoing programs to eliminate polio and prospects for more localized elimination of river blindness, lymphatic filariasis, and malaria.

Career

After completing his PhD in 1994, Siddall started a postdoc at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science under the supervision of Eugene Burreson. Though Burreson is a noted marine leech systematist, their collaborations concerned protozoon parasites of oysters including "dermo" (Perkinsus marinus) and "MSX" (Haplosporidium nelsoni and other economically important species in the parasitic phylum Haplosporidia.[67] That research demonstrated that MSX began wiping out the Atlantic oysters in the Chesapeake Bay and elsewhere as a result of the introduction of oysters from Asia.[68] His phylogenetic work showing that Perkinsus marinus is a dinoflagellate[69][70] overturned environmental monitoring methods.[71] At The College of William and Mary Siddall began working on a solution to the long-standing problem of correlating ordinal fossil age (stratigraphic) data to bifurcating tree structures in a manner that was not biased by the shape of the tree.[72][73]

Subsequently, Siddall was a Michigan Society of Fellow from 1996 - 1999[74] at the University of Michigan where he worked closely with Arnold Kluge taking on Jessica Light (now faculty at TAMU) as an undergraduate intern. It was as a Michigan Society Fellow that Siddall that Siddall drew heavily on Karl Popper in formulating an urgent critique of maximum likelihood for the inference of phylogenies.[75] It was also during this period in which Siddall contributed to understanding the coevolutionary history of HIV coevolution.[76][77]

Siddall was hired at the American Museum of Natural History in July, 1999[1] and served there as a curator until September, 2020. The first researcher he sponsored in his new role was Susan Perkins in order to allow her to achieve a major contribution to understanding the evolution of malaria parasites.[78] Siddall took her on as his first postdoctoral scholar, supported her hire at the University of Colorado, and encouraged her to apply to the microbiology curatorship at the American Museum of Natural History. His other post-doctoral scholars include Kirsten Jensen who is Senior Curator, Professor and Associate Chair of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Kansas[79] who worked with Siddall on tapeworms, Kenneth Macdonald at the Smithsonian[80] who worked with Siddall on amphipods, and Maite Aguado Molina now at the University of Göttingen[81] who worked with Siddall on polychaetes.

Siddall took over stewardship of the museum's summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program in 2000 shepherding it through two decades of uninterrupted National Science Foundation grant funding. The program saw the mentorship of more than 200 undergraduates in biodiversity and evolutionary biology research, 52% under grant DBI-1358465 were recruited from academic institutions where research opportunities in STEM are limited.[82] In 1999, Siddall outlined the trajectory of and strategies for retention of women in biological sciences.[83] Under his direction, the REU program achieved a representation of women (71%) and minorities (31%) that matched the proportions of those applying.[82] Fully 39% of the interns he admitted into the program are in tenure track faculty positions among whom women represent 67%.[82] His former interns include Lauren Esposito at the California Academy of Sciences and Anna J. Phillips at the Smithsonian Institution.

When Siddall asked to remove his name from a paper with falsified data in May 2020, the graduate student responsible for the errors immediately filed a sexual assault complaint.[84][85] Siddall denied that anything of a sexual nature took place, and he was cleared of charges in the complaint, but the American Museum of Natural History let him go in September 2020 even though the graduate student was not under his supervision.[85] (The AMNH's graduate school roster does not indicate any graduate student having being under his academic supervision either in the museum's own Richard Gilder Graduate School Comparative Biology program or in its Collaborative Program at partnering universities.[86]) Siddall also publicly disagreed with the lesser harassment findings but, chose to not appeal the decision to due to mounting legal costs. There had been no prior sexual harassment complaint against Siddall.[85]
