How can we estimate the economic effects of epidemics, pandemics and infectious diseases generally? Find out at our pre-congress session at IHEA: healtheconomics.confex.com/healtheconomic… with the STRIDE CRE and collaborators from the Kirby.

We're particularly pleased with the computational methods that underpin this analysis - including linking our software to leading packages at various stages of the analysis pipeline. For example, we created interactive visuals to explore our results here: monash-emu.github.io/outputs/aust-c….

Excited that our modelling analysis of Australia's Omicron waves is now published here: doi.org/10.1016/j.idm.…. Among other things, it suggests that our "shadow lockdown" reduced the size of our first wave, which likely helped to protect our health system as we opened up.

So excited that the team has been named as finalists in this year's Eureka Awards from the Australia Museum australian.museum/get-involved/e… It's fantastic recognition for the team's hard work with our collaborators across the Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam.

Thanks @MichaelPlankNZ . This was led by RMIT and I was lucky to join to offer some advice. It is nice to see a simple-but-elegant model drawing on the best data we have for Australia and offering some sensible results.

Pleased to be involved with this great work led from RMIT. It leveraged the best quality (NSW) data we have on the important effect of vaccination during our first major waves of transmission. abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…

Funding is so tight that I feel like we should write into our grant applications: "Well, I actually won't be doing much research on this project because I'll have to spend nearly all of my time applying to a whole load of other schemes with an 8% success rate."

Fantastic news that "Determining health needs & outcomes of key populations of people who use drugs" led by @BurnetInstitute 's Prof Paul Dietze has been funded and should lead to critical insights into the health of this important and under-studied group! nhmrc.gov.au/sites/default/…

It was amazing to attend the tbcre.org.au/event-details/… organised by the TB-CRE @Control_TB . The public health community has done so much great work to control the pandemic. Now we need to get back into huge global challenges like TB, which are concentrated in the most vulnerable.
