The ongoing monkeypox outbreak has brought to the forefront the legacy of smallpox eradication. Historical smallpox vaccination efforts were heterogenous leaving a modern patchwork of long-lasting protection. We characterize this landscape in new work: doi.org/10.1101/2022.0…. 🧵

We construct a novel metric for the propensity for human mixing to be indoor at a fine scale across the US, using anonymized phone GPS data of visits to ~5 million public locations by 45+ million mobile devices. Values > 1 suggest visits are more frequently indoor than avg. (4/)

The pandemic has highlighted the increased risk of airborne transmission risk in INDOOR environments w/out ventilation. But it turns out we know very little about rates of indoor activity and how this varies by location. A 🧵on a new study in which we start to fill this gap (1/)

#COVID19 vaccines are safe and effective. More than 4.3 million vaccines have been administered in Illinois. Eligible Illinoisans can find their nearest vaccination location here: coronavirus.illinois.gov/s/vaccination-…

The world needs science, and science needs women. 👩🔬🧪 @UN_Women explains why on Thursday's #WomenInScience Day: bit.ly/31EqGMg




New research shows that more than half of all #COVID19 cases are spread by infected people without any symptoms. Wear a mask, wash your hands, and stay 6 feet from others—even if you’re feeling well.

It's not all about COVID-19! Other pathogens continue to emerge. Check out this take on solutions to clinical #antimicrobialresistance in the latest GLID student blog by @mtevarest, Grant Rosensteel, Emily Shambaugh, and @emmakoren21 bit.ly/2MTX3Dd @JesseGoodmanMD
