Popping up from mat leave 👋👶 to share our new paper in Science Magazine. Anonymised data from the NHS COVID-19 app provided rich insights into the drivers of the epidemic, at remarkable speed. ➡️ Quick read: michellekendall.github.io/2024/07/11/Dri… ➡️ Full details: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

New in Science Magazine: app-based contact tracing for covid 🤒🤳📲 as well as reducing transmission, generated data for epidemic monitoring & analysis in real-time with unprecedented resolution. Example below: sharp spikes in transmission in England during last Euros, 2021 🇪🇺⚽

Crucial thread below. Several countries now have digital tools at the heart of their pandemic strategies, if they didn’t already (spoiler: these are countries that did relatively well against COVID). Meanwhile, many European countries seem to be taking a ‘play it by ear until

Two primers we wrote for UNAIDS now out: "Introduction to HIV phylogentics" jointsiwg.unaids.org/publication/in… "Practical uses of HIV phylogenetics in public health" jointsiwg.unaids.org/publication/pr…

"The data are consistent with hypothesis H" and "The data provide no evidence for hypothesis H" steer you in opposite directions but can mean the same thing: the data do not discriminate between hypotheses. Let's - explicitly consider multiple hypotheses - use clearer language
