Main take-home: analysis of 600 students over 3 yrs shows that integrating one of our 1-3 hr teaching modules in classes significantly increases student *and* instructor confidence in their data science skills @eco4cast @GLEONetwork @NEON_sci (2/2)

You are reading this Tweet during the pandemic. Transmission is higher this time of year than during any prior September. Many people have not had a vaccine in the past year and are not using other mitigation. Repeat-infection #LongCOVID should concern all.
Year-over-year graph of Covid transmission using CDC-based data analyzed and reported at pmc19.com/data. Graph shows higher transmission for Aug/Sept than any other year, with projections for higher year-over-year transmission in October and likely November too.

PMC COVID-19 Forecasting Model, Sept 16, 2024 🧵 1/3 🔥🔥🔥 🔹1 in 40 in the U.S. actively infectious 🔹>1 million daily infections most of the next month 🔹"Lull" likely in early Nov around 850k/day 🔹Highest transmission this time of year (Aug-Nov) all-time
Graph showing the 9 waves of transmission in the U.S. The most recent surge has peaked, barring unprecedented retroactive corrections. Expect 1 million infections/day most of the next month, before a low point around Nov 6 (+/- 2 weeks), before moving into the winter wave.
