@SunkenHum Used gjeh-uvjc. Thank you!

Exactly one year ago today, I clicked Send on my application to join the Epidemiology & Risk Policy Advice team at the APHA. It was one of the best decisions I've made. I'm therefore very happy to offer you the chance to come and work with me and the team! civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/index.cgi?…

Floods are devastating Pakistan, leaving millions in need of urgent help to survive. Wehave launched an urgent appeal. Please donate now. bit.ly/DECPakistanFlo…

I've been writing research articles for over 10 years now and one of the hardest parts is writing consistently and efficiently without procrastinating. I'm going to share some of my tips here 🧵 1/10

For diseases like #xylella, by the time you detect the first visual symptoms, it’s already too late. In our new preprint, we show how modelling can untangle the epidemiology & identify the most effective detection method to use #planthealth biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So, in an arc of redemption worthy of any movie plot, the spittlebugs responsible for the spread of this highly damaging plant pathogen may actually help us to detect and respond to further spread. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (14/14)

We find that pooling five bugs together reduces the costs of surveillance down below that of visual inspection of olive trees. These results hold true whether or not infection is found (i.e. for both declaring absence and for early detection). (13/14)

For those of you who are bored of Covid and want the visceral thrill of plant pathogen epidemiology, @parnells and I have got a new preprint out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/14)
