Announcing the award recipients for the MIDAS COVID-19 Urgent Grant Program!
Researchers are now able to request access to the N3C Data Enclave, a centralized national COVID-19 data analytics platform to enable the rapid collection and analysis of clinical, laboratory and diagnostic data.
Congratulations to MIDAS member Professor Marc Lipsitch on being newly elected to the National Academy of Medicine!
MIDAS member Dr. Lauren Gardner is listed as a ‘Pioneer’ on TIME Magazine list of 100 most influential people in 2020.
MIDAS member Prof. Alex Vespignani receives 2020 Euler Prize.
The first webinar on Statistics of COVID-19 vaccine trials (Dec 3 at noon, EST) will be moderated by @nataliexdean. David Benkeser (@EmoryUniversity) will speak on At warp speed: Statistics and COVID-19 vaccine development. Betz Halloran (@fredhutch) will be a discussant (3/)
Transmission heterogeneities, kinetics, and controllability of SARS-CoV-2. Great work by @SunKaiyuan and colleagues drawn on detailed contact tracing data from China. 👏👏

Join us Dec 10 for the #COVID19 Data Forum's next event all about mobility data! w/Caroline Buckee of @CCDD_HSPH, @ChristoPhraser of @bdi_oxford , @simulacrandrew of @DirectRelief. Moderated by @statpumpkin. Hosted w/@RConsortium+ @StanfordData. More info: https://covid19-data-forum.org
"Transmission heterogeneities, kinetics, and controllability of SARS-CoV-2"
- substantial transmission heterogeneities
- infectiousness peaks before symptom presentation
- control requires case isolation, contact quarantine, population-level interventions

Really happy to have he the opportunity to contribute to this great summary of the SARS-CoV- D614G mutation which has been the topic of considerable research over the past few mo this
Evidence Builds That an Early Mutation Made the Pandemic Harder to Stop
Scientists were initially skeptical that a mutation made the coronavirus more contagious. But new research has changed many of their minds.
