Thrilled to share new work in @ScienceMagazine on the epidemiology of COVID-19 in south India, one of the first opportunities to study epidemiology in depth in a LMIC setting. Insights into CFR, transmission, impact of interventions, and much more. https://t.co/dKIMgR0X7a 1/n
Now might be a good time to note that I am hiring a post-doc to join my group @BastaLab @mcgillu @McGillEBOH in Montreal. If you have experience in #epidemiology and an interest in #vaccines, please apply!
Thrilled to see OPCAST recognize the need for a national epidemic forecasting and analytics capability @dylanbgeorge https://twitter.com/mlipsitch/status/1310668517587529731
New report from members of Obama's President's Council of Advisors on Sci and Tech (OPCAST) on need for epidemic modeling for pandemic preparedness. Prior reports on data, and other important topics. http://opcast.org/
If you like learning about vaccine study design, I will be giving a 2 hour tutorial at the upcoming @ENAR_ibs meeting in March 2021! Abstract attached. (But I will also make more Twitter threads between now and then!) https://twitter.com/nataliexdean/status/1310613702476017666
