Sarah Ann Nadeau (ETH Zurich) will be giving the next talk Wednesday, August 24 at 9:00 AM PDT on "Phylogenetic and phylodynamic evidence for the impact of major public health interventions on the Swiss SARS-CoV-2 epidemic"

Great work from JT McCrone leading this paper! It's been a long time coming - we started working on this more than a year ago, ages in pandemic time. The pandemic's changed, but the dynamics we describe will stay relevant for future variants and other viruses.

I'm hiring a 3 year postdoc Imperial College London funded by Medical Research Council. If adapting ideas from statistics and engineering (e.g. feedback) to better model and control epidemics sounds interesting do apply! Please share widely - thanks!

When reviewing multiple papers for the same journal at the same time check and check again that you are actually submitting the right review 😅

I like how they chose to show an alignment of identical sequences to illustrate this story nature.com/articles/d4158…

ETH_WPF sent an #open #letter to the editors-in-chief NZZ, SRF & @Sonntagszeitung who abused an unpublished study from Universität Zürich to claim that equality measures are useless as women don’t want a career - and rather look for a successful husband: eth-wpf.ch/open-letter-on…👇🧵(1/14)

Forgive me, for I am about to Bayes. Lesson: Don't trust intuition, for even simple prior+likelihood scenarios defy it. Four examples below, each producing radically different posteriors. Can you guess what each does? Revealed in next tweet >>

The first chapter of my PhD is now live in preprint form 😊 We introduce EpiFusion, a technique for jointly modelling infectious disease outbreak trajectories from both case incidence and genomic (phylogenetic tree) data biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I think more conferences should have a plenaries like this. Relegating talks on these topics to optional lunchtime events (that you often have to sign up for in advance) keeps us from openly discussing and recognising the issues or making any progress!

I'm so happy to see this paper finally out! I joined the project back in 2019 and by then it had already been going on for some time. Incredible effort from Steven Fiddaman and antonis_dim!
