Congratulations Shania Rossiter on a fantastic performance in her final seminar! Important research into pandemic preparedness and response led by Tony Blakely at the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health.
Congratulations to PhD candidate Viet Long Bui on this important academic.oup.com/jid/advance… considering the effect of the pandemic on TB control in Viet Nam and the potential of improved control through enhanced case finding activities. Really important work!
How can we estimate the economic effects of epidemics, pandemics and infectious diseases generally? Find out at our pre-congress session at IHEA: healtheconomics.confex.com/h… with the STRIDE CRE and collaborators from the Kirby.
Tremendous work by Romain from our team to quantify the effect of school closures on the COVID-19 pandemic across the world: monash.edu/news/articles/sch…
Excited that our modelling analysis of Australia's Omicron waves is now published here: doi.org/10.1016/j.idm.2024.0…. Among other things, it suggests that our "shadow lockdown" reduced the size of our first wave, which likely helped to protect our health system as we opened up.
We're particularly pleased with the computational methods that underpin this analysis - including linking our software to leading packages at various stages of the analysis pipeline. For example, we created interactive visuals to explore our results here: monash-emu.github.io/outputs….
So excited that the team has been named as finalists in this year's Eureka Awards from the Australia Museum australian.museum/get-involv… It's fantastic recognition for the team's hard work with our collaborators across the Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam.
Thanks @MichaelPlankNZ . This was led by RMIT and I was lucky to join to offer some advice. It is nice to see a simple-but-elegant model drawing on the best data we have for Australia and offering some sensible results.

Pleased to be involved with this great work led from RMIT. It leveraged the best quality (NSW) data we have on the important effect of vaccination during our first major waves of transmission.

Funding is so tight that I feel like we should write into our grant applications: "Well, I actually won't be doing much research on this project because I'll have to spend nearly all of my time applying to a whole load of other schemes with an 8% success rate."
An important report - co-authored by our own @darsh_ayton from #MonashHSCU - into the current career landscape for early and mid-career researchers in Australia lens.monash.edu/2024/04/09/1…

This book is really worth a read - totally different perspective on public health to what I've been used to.
In his new Forefront article, @JamesTrauer of @Monash_SPHPM reviews the book The Worlds of Public Health, which "provides a welcome antidote to the trend toward measurement and quantification in public health that only increased with the arrival of COVID." bit.ly/43tXGXz
Huge congratulations to Romain on this award. Can't wait to see the progress he makes in understanding TB epidemiology and control over the next five years!!
Massive congratulations to epidemiological modeller Romain Ragonnet on receiving the Frank Fenner @nhmrc Excellence Award last night, for his grant application for #Tuberculosis control #TB @Monash_FMNHS @MonashResearch monash.edu/medicine/news/lat…
Come and do a PhD in data science and modelling with my team: careers.pageuppeople.com/513…
Great to see AUSCMI's (our national Covid modelling collaborative group) submission to the national Covid response review posted online auscmi.org/
Fantastic news that "Determining health needs & outcomes of key populations of people who use drugs" led by @BurnetInstitute 's Prof Paul Dietze has been funded and should lead to critical insights into the health of this important and under-studied group! nhmrc.gov.au/sites/default/f…
Great work (and persistence!) from Peter Markey and colleagues to get this unique economic assessment of Covid management published! sciencedirect.com/science/ar… Leverages important data from a health system that wasn't overwhelmed by load.

📢 Seeking participants for COVID research! We're studying the impact of COVID infection, disease severity, and long COVID in people without a working spleen & the general community. Anyone can participate regardless of if you have a spleen or not! (1/2) burnet.edu.au/research/proje…
