Operation Outbreak - an infectious way to learn

Our app-based outbreak simulation has become an educational tool for dozens of schools across the country. Learn more: bit.ly/3S3aDSD @broadinstitute @MooreFound @RockefellerFdn @bwfund #STEM #education

@iGEM 🦠 Participants’ contact networks vary. Some have many direct (aka primary) contacts, while others have few primary contacts and many secondary contacts. (One individual’s choices do matter in the outcome of an outbreak!)

To assess our collective capability to respond to outbreaks, we simulated a virtual pathogen that spread among several hundred attendees at the @iGEM 2024 Grand Jamboree in Paris. Check out what happened... @iGEM #WorldExpoSynbio

The continuing spread #H5N1 has affected more than just dairy cows in the US. This updated animated video highlights key impact points in the timeline from early this year up to October 11th. 📽️ Watch here ⤵️

Hats off to the experts in veterinary medicine, public health, ecology, and government who joined the event. Our junior ambassadors are paving the way for a future where youth collaboration and innovative outbreak science education lead the charge. 🏥✨ #outbreakscience

This student-run One Health Day conference featured brilliant keynote speakers: education expert Dr. Todd Brown, computational geneticist Dr. Pardis Sabeti (@PardisSabeti), and bestselling author Dr. Richard Preston of #TheHotZone! 📚👩‍🔬

🌟 What a fantastic day at the "One Health Day: Exploring Outbreak Education" conference, organized by our amazing junior ambassadors at the Operation Outbreak Club of West Career & Technical Academy (@WestCareerTech)! 🌿🔍

"Oh, so you're the guys giving out the cute microbes!" It was wonderful to join our friends @COMAPMath at #NCTMCHI24. ✨Contact us if you'd like to receive our newest chapter of Outbreak Science, Chapter 13: Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Diseases.✨

Come visit @OutbreakEdu @NCTM

@OutbreakEdu having fun

Look what I found at #NCTMCHI24 ?!?! @OutbreakEdu works with schools to learn mathematical modeling of outbreaks and how to prevent them!!! We had such a great convo on how we can partner. Stay tuned. And go check them out online or at @NCTM exhibit hall.

We're partnering with @COMAPMath to bring infectious learning to NCTM 2024 in Chicago! Mark your calendars for Sept 25-27. We'll be giving away some #OperationOutbreak swag and testing your knowledge about math & microbes. Learn more at buff.ly/3Zsf7HI #NCTMCHI24

We are so excited to team up again with @OutbreakEdu at #NCTMCHI24 to help #teachers learn how to run simulations of disease outbreaks and study the related #math and science. Find us at booth 719 and read more about Infectious Learning at NCTM here: comap.com/blog/item/infe…

(1/16) Bringing together computational scientists, software engineers, an visual designers, the Colubri Lab @colabobio at @UMassChanGSBS @UMassChan advances novel methods and tools for infectious disease research. This thread will cover their 3 of their current projects👇

"We can start to see patterns in how people behave, how they sometimes cooperate, how they sometimes work against each other in different ways—the chaotic environment of an outbreak." -Dr. @PardisSabeti #OperationOutbreak #STEM #education

Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay 2024💚 Changes in climate are linked to changes in outbreaks. In fact, "Over half of known human pathogenic diseases can be aggravated by climate change." Check out this interactive tool by @TheMoraLab to learn more: bit.ly/4c7sikM @uhmanoa
