The MIDAS Coordination Center announces a new COVID-19 funding program for MIDAS members!
See how this visualization from the New York Times incorporates research by MIDAS members.
Interested in modeling collaboration for COVID-19? Read more about the new Multi-Model Outbreak Decision Support (MMODS) project!
Watch this PBS NewsHour segment on COVID-19 modeling with Miles O’Brien interviewing MIDAS members Betz Halloran and Nicholas Reich.
The Reich Lab’s COVID-19 Forecast Hub standardizes forecast data from many models to create an ensemble model, including models from several other MIDAS researchers. The CDC and news media such as FiveThirtyEight use the COVID-19 Forecast Hub as a data source.
What environmental data are relevant to the study of infectious diseases like COVID-19? See @NOAA resource page https://www.climate.gov/maps-data/primer/what-environmental-data-are-relevant-study-infectious-diseases-covid-19
Great collaboration with @cosnet_bifi @estebanmoro @nataliexdean @ilongini @betzhallo @SrAleta @mattk7 @apastorepiontti @alex_pentland @marcoajelli @LitvinovaMV @Dmartincc https://twitter.com/cosnet_bifi/status/1290963797633531905
It's great to see our paper on second wave scenarios (very timely!) of #COVID19 out in @NatureHumBehav today. We show that testing work, but only if accompanied by tracing & household quarantine (panel g below). Main at https://rdcu.be/b55RH (see also SM for more scenarios)
“We need to make data sing... We also need better systems to collect and analyze data and a new generation of public health leaders who know how to sift data and know what's important and what's not. The art of data analytics is an art.“

Part II of our new podcast series is now available on the #IQTPodcast! Tune in as Drs. @dylanbgeorge & @cmyeaton explore the value of data & analytics in outbreak response, advanced concepts in modeling, and more with @DrTomFrieden, @MaritaZim & @reichlab. http://ow.ly/Tm4U50AQkOA
