So happy to see this work published in The Lancet Planetary Health, which forms the basis for several new Wellcome projects, including #HARMONIZE & #IDExtremes. Thank you @SadieRyan and Dr. Anna Stewart Ibarra for your leadership and great pleasure to work with Hetco Design and the whole team

The UK #CovidInquiry starts today. Some of the modellers who worked on the response have also been reflecting on our experiences. It was intense. We wrote about it - and some ideas for making things better: 👀biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🌟 Anna Carnegie Yang 刘扬 Sam Abbott (@[email protected]) +

Naomi did her PhD with me, did great work on respiratory viruses, plus some covid response work, then vaccine evaluation, and now on to AMR. Technically excellent, creative thinker, very fun to work with - I’m a big fan!
