@greateranglia Thank you. I appreciate it

[Felipe Colón @FJColon]

@greateranglia it is unacceptable than Liverpool Street station is closed and your app has no information about this. It shows the station as operating on your “live updates” you’ve made me travel unnecessarily carrying heavy luggage

[Felipe Colón @FJColon]

@greateranglia This is your live update . You need to amend this immediately, people are travelling unnecessarily to the station and station staff are fed up with the questions about the closure and are understandably frustrated

[Felipe Colón @FJColon]

Anything to say @greateranglia?

📌 Key recommendations:

• Update WHO’s 2014 Quantitative Risk Assessment
• Expand modelling to more health outcomes
• Develop early warning systems
• Boost capacity in low-resource settings

[Felipe Colón @FJColon]

📢PAPER ALERT:

Underinvestment in climate & health modelling limits our ability to predict and prevent risks. 65 Global experts agree we need urgent action.

🔑 Priorities for stronger models:
✅ Build research capacity
✅ Create multinational centres of excellence
✅ Improve data sharing & scenario development
✅ Commit to intermodel comparisons & interdisciplinary work

We want to transform early intervention for youth mental health.

Our new funding award will help achieve this.

Across two phases, it aims to accelerate the evaluation and roll out of effective social and psychological interventions. 🧵[1/4]

⏰ It's 20 days before the highly anticipated Data for Health in Africa Meeting and 5th DS-I Africa Consortium Meeting at the Cedi Conference Centre, University of Ghana from the 23rd – 29th August 2025.

🤝 This landmark event is jointly funded by the Wellcome Trust (@wellcometrust) and The National Institutes of Health (@NIH).

‼️ The meeting is open to Wellcome Trust and DSI-Africa grantees.

ℹ️ This year’s theme is “Data Science in Africa: Strengthening Partnerships and Collaboration across Networks, Sectors and Impact Areas”.

💬 Meet one of our keynote speakers: Prof Peter Amoako-Yirenkyi is a Professor of Applied and Computational Mathematics. He has over two decades of experience in Computer vision, Scientific Computing and industrial modelling. He has worked with several organizations on many projects, including the @UN, @WHO, @CERN, @UNESCO, and the Citizen Cyberscience Center in Geneva-Switzerland. He is the lead scientist for the National High-Performance Computing Laboratory hosted by Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi(@KNUSTGH) and the director of Scientific and Technical Computing at the National Institute for Mathematical Sciences(NIMS-Ghana), Ghana. He has served as a Principal and Co-principal investigator for many grants from several funding sources, including The World Bank, The National Institutes of Health and the Fogarty International Centre, the Norwegian academy of science and letters and Petroleum Geo services. Prof. Amoako-Yirenkyi has also consulted and developed several computer application suites and set up network infrastructure in many countries. He is currently the lead Scientist and developer for Medical Analytics and Technology Engine(MATE) for Health Innovation - A smart and transformative Medical Analytics and Technology Resource for Integrated eXperience (MATRIX) designed to revolutionize healthcare through advanced medical analytics, cutting-edge technology, centralized resources, and seamless integration. He teaches Structured thinking, Mathematics for Data science, scientific and high-performance computing, Numerical Analysis, discrete structures, graph theory, machine learning and data visualization. He has publications and research interests in High-Performance Computing, Fractional and Stochastic Differential Equations, Reservoir Simulation, Human identification and Recognition, Wavelets, Traffic and fleet modelling, Complex Energy Constrained modelling, Water resource modelling and complex financial modelling. He is skilled in sparse representations in Redundant Dictionaries, distributed ranking algorithms and educational resource management.
