Applications are now open for #MMED2024: @ICI3D's Clinic on Meaningful Modelling of Epidemiological Data. 17-29 June in South Africa, a 2‐week modelling clinic that emphasizes the use of data in understanding infectious disease dynamics. ici3d.org/mmed/apply
I have a bunch of links like this that all seem broken. They are t.co links, but seem to redirect correctly to bit.ly. bit.ly says they've never heard of them. Thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
Just resurrected my Ph.D. thesis; the pdf had been lost. Trying to remember how to do latex without #WorkingWiki: bit.ly/15LuWWB
Come learn about disease data in Cape Town! 17-29 Jun, applications due 10 April. drive.google.com/file/d/1k_X…
Still trying to replace here. Can anyone offer opinions? Never bonded with mastodon, and trying to decide whether to invest effort in bluesky.
#ICI3D is now accepting applications for our virtual-only Clinic on Dynamical Approaches to Infectious Disease Data (DAIDD), held 10-16 December. The application deadline is 20 October 2023 at 23:59 South African time. See ici3d.org/daidd/ for information.
New preprint led by xitter.cf/aakhmetz on the incubation period of omicron in Taiwan. Please view and comment mstdn.science/@jd_mathbio.
If you like any of my tweets, please consider coming over to mastodon. Not for any specific reason :-). Mastodon is a federation of instances. I'm on mstdn.science, but there are other relevant ones as well.
We have a preprint with some simple ideas about modeling vaccination and the immune system up on @medrxivpreprint. See mstdn.science/@jd_mathbio. By @sang_woo_park with @mliwz1, @CJEMetcalf #BryanTGrenfell
I gave a virtual talk last month on Dynamical Models of Disease Spread, aimed at a general scientific audience, as part of the Rwanda-based Next Einstein Forum (NEF) Webinar Series. It is now available at bit.ly/3KkdIuX.
Gave a talk Wednesday aimed at mathematically oriented Taiwan undergraduates youtube.com/watch?v=7_2P46Zy…. I spoke about why I think generation intervals are fun and useful.
The application for MMED 2023 is due on 10 April at 23:59 SAST / 17:59 Eastern. It's a great experience!

#puzzle: I was playing worLdle the other day. For my first two guesses I typed "dj" and selected Djibouti, then typed "ye" and selected Yemen. What is interesting about those two choices?

Thanks for the invitation; looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!
How dynamical modeling contributes to studying diseases that spread through populations? Remember to participate in our exciting webinar with Professor @jd_mathbio from @McMasterU, on March 30, 2023, at 10.30 AM (GMT+2)! Register👇!
