Twenty neglected tropical diseases are prioritised by the @WHO for eradication or control by 2030. Read about progress towards this aim in this new #PhilTransB issue bit.ly/PTB1887 #NTDs #BeatNTDs

UNHCR has created the refugees R package, a free statistical software which provides data on forcibly displaced populations. Kudos to our very own Hisham Galal and Ahmadou Dicko, who have developed this package! unhcr.org/refugee-statis…

@herzi38 Likely a problem of initialisation/ distribution set up. Happy to jump on a quick call. It is a fairly common error in my experience when you are trying out a model ;)
