New paper out with @joelcmiller.bsky.social @chpoletto.bsky.social This paper's for you if you are interested in relationships between realised and intrinsic generation intervals for epidemics on networks! doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Had quite a weekend so far. before I get into it… Anyone know anyone who went to the Maurice Plant meet last night and then to Melbourne Sports and Aquatics Centre this morning? My weekend: 1) on Friday I gave students exam with one question that was harder than intended.

Well this is a depressing read. I knew RFK was an antivaxer. I hadn't realised he visited Samoa specifically to spread antivax disinformation months before the epidemic that needlessly claimed the lives of 83 babies and children 😡 www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

‘We learned the hard way’: Samoa remembers a deadly measles outbreak and a visit from RFK Jr

A few months before the outbreak in 2019, Kennedy travelled to Samoa and met with anti-vaccine figures, contributing to what health experts claim was a ‘significant disinformation campaign’

Well, I'm making my first post here, and it is a fun one: I have recently advertised for up to 4 post-doctoral research positions, 3-5 years in duration. If you are interested please get in touch or apply. An opportunity to work in Melbourne, great team, great city! Details at iddjobs.org:

A note to all of my Infectious disease modelling followers - you should follow @iddjobs.bsky.social, and use them to advertise any new infectious disease dynamics^* positions you are hiring for. * IDD = "Infectious Disease Dynamics"

I will not hide my inner convictions anymore. Be the change you want to see in the world ! #AcademicSky 🧪

At what point will the policy response be “we really need to get this under control”? Or are we again going to wait until it’s beyond the point of control?

I spoke to @mscribe.bsky.social @theguardian.com about the H5N1 case in BC. More and more human cases are occurring, along with mutations that indicate further human adaptation. We need to treat these cases like a warning, because that is what they are. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...
