I am a biostatistician with the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, based in Malawi, where I lead the Statistical Support Unit at the Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Research Programme.
🚨 WE ARE HIRING at the Data Science and Computational Modelling Unit at MLW: * Chair in Global Health Data Science: www.mlw.mw/vacancies/pr... * Senior lecturer in Mathematical Modelling: www.mlw.mw/vacancies/se... The posts are appointed at the University of Liverpool but based in Malawi at MLW.
@xavierbettel.bsky.social Ech wënschen iech eng schein Visite am Malawi. Sollt der bis eroof ob Blantyre kommen, soot mer Bescheed an ech kann Iech een Tour vum Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Research Programme (www.mlw.mw) maan wu ech d’Data Science and Computational Modelling Unit leeden.

Opening ceremony of the #IBSSUSAN2025 conference in Addis Ababa. Looking forward to several days of exciting discussions with leading and up-and-coming biostatisticians in sub-Saharan Africa. Also great to see a strong #SSACAB representation, driving the future of biostatistics on the continent.
#ISCB46 very nice talk by Michael Kammer on COVID-19 prognostic models, which involved a ‘deep dive’ into the pond life of modelling. Bottom line: “If looking for reliable models, don’t hold your breath.”

Ready for the #STRATOS session tomorrow at #JSM2025 💪 - if you are in Nashville, please come (6 August 2025, 10.30am, room CC-209B). (I realise that parallel session speakers include @tibshirani.bsky.social and @hadley.nz - still: you should come to ours 😉.)
New paper out: doi.org/10.1007/s106... This is outside of my usual focus area - the stuff your PhD students get you into ;-) This is work that Patrick is building on to investigate associations between urban plastic waste and human health using remote sensing - exciting and important stuff!
Mapping waste piles in an urban environment using ground surveys, manual digitization of drone imagery, and object based image classification approach - Environmental Monitoring and Assessment
There is wide recognition of the threats posed by the open dumping of waste in the environment. However, tools to surveil interventions for reducing this practice are poorly developed. This study expl...

Exciting to have contributed to this important work.
Alex Stockdale@alexstockdale.bsky.social · last yr.Just published. Our review estimated that vertical transmission of hepatitis B in the WHO African region could be eliminated with birth dose vaccination and maternal antiviral prophylaxis. An exciting possibility- will we find the political will? #idsky #hepsky www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
“The suboptimal performance of QIAreach QFT, particularly in young children, suggests that it cannot currently be recommended for wider use and that the urgent need for an accessible test of Mtb infection remains unmet”

That's a wrap for #IBC2024ATL. A week of great, stimulating talks and I am looking forward to IBC2026 in Seoul (but before that the IBS SUSAN Conference in Ethiopia).
After many online meetings, it feels great to meet fellow #Stratos colleagues in person #internationalbiometricconference #atlanta
Great STRATOS TG2 session with @georgheinze.bsky.social at #IBC2024ATL. Another session this afternoon at 2pm.
Very exciting to attend a Sander Greenland talk and being lectured on bad practices in epidemiology and biostatistics - and how to do better and change practice in the next generation of researchers. #IBC2024ATL
👀⤵️ - @altmetric.com further cementing Bluesky as a platform for sharing and quantifying academic discussions. ⭐ And, as this thread demonstrates, it's been achieved with a good dose of humour, which never goes amiss in life or academia! 👏 #AcademicSky #IDSky #ImmunoSky #clinmicro
Altmetric@altmetric.com · 2y agoBLUESKY MEGA-THREAD Altmetric is thrilled and also LITERALLY RELIEVED to officially announce: We are now tracking research attention as it happens on Bluesky! We have been picking up posts on the site since late Oct. Our team is on Bluesky all day answering questions. Let's get into it!
