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
VACCINE EFFICACY 101: A biostatistician's primer
Ten tweets to cover:
- How is vaccine efficacy calculated?
- Distinguishing between infection, disease, & severe disease.
- Measuring reduced infectiousness.
- Vaccine efficacy vs. effectiveness!

We are looking for a postdoc to work on data-driven flu/covid modeling with cohort and surveillance data. If you're interested in reconstructing transmission with Bayesian models and detailed contact and genomic data, get in touch!
Highly recommend this paper. @tomcm39, @reichlab, & collaborators ran a months-long "prediction market" of infectious disease modelers, epis, etc.. around #COVID19. I found the results each week fascinating and the synthesis paints such an interesting picture of this past spring! https://twitter.com/tomcm39/status/1308821310940774400
New paper out on our work asking experts in the modeling of infectious disease to predict the US early #COVID19 outbreak. Expert predictions provided valuable insight of future societal burden during the early stages of the #COVID19 #pandemic in the US. https://medrxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.09.21.20196725v1
