He is the lead author of the report “Parasite biodiversity faces extinction and redistribution in a changing climate,” which proposes in the journal Science Advances that about a third of all parasite species could go extinct by 2070 due to climate change. This is of concern because the loss of lice, fleas, and worms could breed new parasites with devastating health results, he says in a video interview with Democracy Now![2][3][4][5] At age 13 he sued the University of Connecticut for age discrimination, as he was not able to take a course requiring field study abroad in Africa.[6] The New York Times reported that his case "underscores a larger point, the struggle of the many gifted youngsters in this country who try to maneuver in a system that largely ignores them and, at worst, results in situations when many children with great potential flounder because they are not challenged enough."[7] He is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at SESYNC,[8] and has done work on the implications of climate engineering[9] and the spread of disease by mosquitoes due to global warming.[10] References1. ^[https://psmag.com/social-justice/the-30-top-thinkers-under-30-the-former-child-prodigy-who-he-says-is-finally-doing-something-new-and-interesting The Top 30 Thinkers Under 30], Pacific Standard {{DEFAULTSORT:Carlson, Colin}}2. ^[https://www.democracynow.org/2017/9/11/the_sixth_extinction_climate_change_may Scientists: Climate Change May Wipe Out a Third of World’s Parasites, with Disastrous Ripple Effects], Democracy Now! 3. ^[https://phys.org/news/2017-09-due-climate-one-third-animal-parasites.html Due to climate change, one-third of animal parasites may be extinct by 2070], Phys.org 4. ^[https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/13/science/parasites-extinction-climate-change.html Climate Change Threatens the World’s Parasites], New York Times 5. ^[https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/sep/06/climate-change-could-wipe-out-a-third-of-parasite-species-study-finds Climate change could wipe out a third of parasite species study finds], The Guardian 6. ^13-Year-Old Prodigy Cries Discrimination, ABC News 7. ^[https://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/02/nyregion/connecticut/02colct.html On an Amazing Journey, and He’s Only 12], The New York Times 8. ^https://www.sesync.org/news/wed-2018-01-31-0925/sesync-welcomes-postdoctoral-fellow-colin-carlson 9. ^[https://phys.org/news/2018-09-climate-disease-impacts.html Now is the time to answer questions about climate engineering disease impacts], Phys.org 10. ^[https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2019/03/28/707604928/chart-where-disease-carrying-mosquitoes-will-go-in-the-future CHART: Where Disease-Carrying Mosquitoes Will Go In The Future], NPR 2 : living people|1996 births |
