Great thread by @svscarpino — go get your booster and your flu shot!
“Now is the time. You’ve got to go out and do it,” I spoke to Martin Finucane at the @BostonGlobe about the need for people to get their bivalent #COVID19 booster and their seasonal flu shot ASAP! @RockefellerFdn @PPI_Insights 1/9 bostonglobe.com/2022/10/26/n…
Our new paper is out! Wonderful project lead by @NavidehNoori

Great summary, @SimonovSays! This was an amazing project to be involved in — all within the first two months of being @ @truveta. Lots of more work coming down the pike!
Hot off the press! Our preprint from @truveta research looking at the relationship of COVID breakthrough infections resulting in hospitalization and underlying health conditions. Here's what we found (🧵)

A great collaboration!
Happy to share our new ms. (Banho, Sacchetto et al.) published today on @CommsMedicine @NaturePortfolio
Great collaborative work with @CeciliaArtico @Virology_FAMERP @Vasilakis_Lab @BMAlthouse @create_neo @famerp @CREID_Network

This Maine & Vermont collab on the dynamical interplay of behavior and institutions is now available in open-access print at royalsocietypublishing.org/d….
We study a lot of things, including the localization of institutional support in an abstract space of behavior and cost.
Last ago we started a Maine x Vermont collab looking at the spread of adaptations to climate change. I learned a ton thanks to @tmwaring @MeredithNiles1 Nick Gotelli, Brian McGill and others.
We distilled some of our conversations in a theoretical model: arxiv.org/abs/2109.08106.

I'm very excited to announce that I have started as Director of Applied Science @truveta. We're using massive amounts of real-world health data to gain medical insights, improve health equity, and save lives.

The network epidemiology of the 2014-16 Ebola epidemic shows networks connect scales of surveillance - contact tracing, local cases and national incidence - to tell a complete epidemic story.
Result 1/4 Transmissions per case didn't change much over time

ALT Ebola cases over time in Sierra Leone, with distributions of transmission per case virtually unchanged throughout the epidemic.

Almost two months after acceptance (and a request, which we fulfilled, for an additional IRB waiver) it was editorially rejected. I'll never send another manuscript there.

eLife is a failed state. We had a paper accepted and the editors kept changing the requirements around data availability (we used patient-level data so we cannot release everything, the reviewers signed off as per eLife's policy).
Got a new iPhone and I need to log in to Microsoft Authenticator for two-factor authentication on internal websites. But! When I go to log on to Authenticator it wants me to open Authenticator to authenticate my use of Authenticator. What a time to be alive!
Our new preprint is out. A very cool project to work on!
Preprint release for another chapter of @balake_williams MSc thesis (1st LSD graduate!) now out in collab with @big_data_kane & @BMAlthouse.
Blake built a large network of influenza genotypes, analyzed it and tried to understand it.

ALT Network of flu strains connected by single mutation. 12 large components are shown.
Our new preprint is out now. A fun project!

This work highlights the potential role of nutritional supplementation in infection prevention as a touch point with the health system to increase rates of vaccination, and to improve child survival.@IndiTrehan, @kpqpmsf, @SkripLaura, @BMAlthouse
But also, @svscarpino @d_althouse
This is excellent news, @dylanbgeorge! You've got a dream team to work with!
Honored to share that I've joined @CDC to help establish the Center for Epidemic Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics. This role is a chance to continue a lifelong mission to improve epidemic response. I'm joining w/ @cmyeaton @mlipsitch @rebeccajk13. Excited to get to work!

This is an *incredible* opportunity! Prof. Ogbunu is a fantastic mentor and his group works on some of the most important socio-biological questions of our time.
The Ogbunu Lab is hiring a "Swiss Army Quant" at the level of Research Assistant.
Let's build.
