Fantastic to have attended “Modelling Epidemics with Julia” at the LSHTM run by Simon Frost, Sandra Montes and @seabbs.bsky.social My first formal foray into #julia and gosh! How powerful it is for modelling. Exciting to see the toolkit available for modelling outbreaks! Will be using in the PhD!

🗞️ Vaccine roll-outs need to be efficient, but also need to be equitable New paper with @lshtm.bsky.social members reviews literature on vaccine roll-out to highlight priorities for more equitable responses in future pandemics #PublicHealth Read the findings 🔽 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

🗞️ ICYMI: @lshtm.bsky.social research models the impact of superspreaders – the 20% of people responsible for ~80% of secondary infections Real-data were used track #COVID superspreaders, providing model for real-time tracking in epidemics #InfectiousDisease Read 🔽 journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...

🌍 Working with @gavi.org, @lshtm.bsky.social researchers led by @drjohnellis.bsky.social modelled the potential impact of new TB vaccines across 73 LMICs. 💉 vaccines delivered between 2030 and 2050 could avert up to 61 million TB cases and 7 million deaths by 2100. Read more 👉 bit.ly/4rkkTax
