Check out our new paper on inferring transmission chains from contact data, pathogen genomes and dates of symptom onset (it only took 5 rounds of revision!) journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a… @TeebzR @dr_anne_cori

Happy to see our analysis of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in hospitals using outbreaker2 finally out!

@HellewellJoel Full protection for the next five generations of Hellewells

1/5 Introducing The Epidemiologist R Handbook! Collaboratively written by and for applied epidemiologists. Check out epiRhandbook.com and share widely!

@TimPollington Evening! I haven't looked into it but I know @joshherbeck was thinking about it - did you ever get round to it? With the number of sequences available some decent empirical estimates should also be possible. Once every 50 generations sounds very low!

Finalising details of our #Epidemics course in Bogotá 🇨🇴 june 17-21 with @INSColombia and @UniJaveriana With @dr_anne_cori @juanf_vesga @kcharniga @PNouvellet @fCampbell93 @arran_hamlet @igococha As last time, everything will be hosted by @RECONEPI. Many thanks @ZKamvar

First Course on Outbreak Analysis and Modelling of Infectious Disease, June 17-21 in #Bogota 🇨🇴 Co-organised by @INSColombia @MRC_Outbreak @UniJaveriana & @RECONEPI Deadline for applications May 2nd, 2019. Scholarhips available. ins.gov.co/modelamiento/m…

On that note - outbreaks v1.5 is now out on CRAN! With new datasets on Nipah in Malaysia (kindly provided by @SACEMAdirector) and dog rabies in Central African Republic. More contributions always welcome @RECONEPI @TeebzR @jonny_polonsky @ZKamvar

So there's a lot of news going on right now, but something that's continuing to get lost in the noise is the Ebola outbreak happening in a WAR ZONE along with the election turmoil in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Buckle in for my thread.

#Ebola uh-oh: “We are very concerned by the epidemiological situation in the Butembo area,” said John Johnson, MSF project coordinator in Butembo, a city of a million people. @WHO is concerned. @MSF is concerned. Don't like the sound of this. doctorswithoutborders.org/what-we-do/new…

People often ask why I'm a climate scientist in a political science department. The short answer is: because climate change is the most political science and more physical science isn't what's stopping us from acting on climate. These political scientists get it:

Happy hands on camel research by @amy__dighe at the @MM_HPRU away day #camelsoftwitter

Coding away the Sunday to end our week in Malta (with IRL field epis, how exciting) #ESCAIDE @RECONEPI

Great discussion on the interplay between academia and outbreak response in the face of conflicting incentives. How to make academia useful to public health in real time? #ESCAIDE @RECONEPI

The @RECONEPI course is about to start, we are ready! Introduction into #Rstats for outbreak analyses. @ESCAIDE @EANBoard @tephinet

Interested in tracking hospital infections using WGS? If you can find me among the 100s of posters, please come for a chat (Poster LB-5292) #ASTMH18 #TropMed18

Perhaps the biggest lover of camels out there, well worth a chat for that reason alone #TropMed18 #ASTMH18

One excellent poster by one excellent malaria researcher...do yourself a favour and have a chat with @HellewellJoel at #TropMed18 @Imperial_IDE

Yesterday we had the kickoff meeting of our joint #R4epi project, a project between @MSF @msf_innovation and @RECONEPI advancing operational Epi analyses in the field. Cleaning/shaping data, faster and more consistent analyses, directly supporting field interventions. #rstats

@TeebzR @RECONEPI Yes pretty much to the day - better late than never, I guess?!

Good to see this one finally out.. about 1 year after acceptance? Congrats Finlay! #rstats @RECONEPI outbreak reconstruction
