Prof Ross Andrews, Sr Epi @qldhealth, presents COVID-flu-RSV trends extracted just hours ago. Near real-time reporting of state-level health data is an invaluable resource achieved from the COVID response. Timely information is powerful & needed across more health indicators.

[Jess Sexton @JSextonPhD]

Attending the @qldhealth data linkage symposium for the first time since before the pandemic! Data to Drive Change team from the @CREStillbirth is attending and thrilled for today’s presentations #data #datalinkage #epi

[Stillbirth CRE @CREStillbirth]

Important argument by @dillyanumba for why preterm birth 🤰🏽and stillbirth 🦋prevention need to be hand in hand 🤝

[Jess Sexton @JSextonPhD]

After a few years working on COVID at @qldhealth, I’m thrilled at the privilege to return to @CREStillbirth to continue developing #stillbirth projects with the most amazing team at @MaterResearch.

NEW paper, NEW TRIPOD reporting guideline out in @bmj_latest led by @TPA_Debray

If you’re developing/validating a prediction model and accounted for clustering (different centres, data sets), then TRIPOD-Cluster is for you

Prof Brian Gabrielli has been awarded a $500,486 grant from @ocrfaustralia for new research investigating a tablet treatment for ovarian cancer which could be more effective and have fewer side effects than current chemotherapy. Learn more: https://t.co/EaC0xGv3Kn @UQ_News

[Stillbirth CRE @CREStillbirth]

The @CREStillbirth team were honoured to receive the Mater Research Excellence award for 2022.
Thanks @MaterNews @MaterResearch for recognising the incredible work our team has done this year. #stillbirth #research

[Dr Bryan Tuten @DrBryanTuten]

I've traveled a long way from my "Home Among the Hills" @WVWesleyan but it was such an honor and privilege to meet with the Chemistry Students & Faculty and even give a lecture in the same room I met the beautiful @JSextonMPH in. Thanks to all and till next time! #WVchem #ozchem

[Stillbirth CRE @CREStillbirth]

"Covid increases the risk of stillbirth or newborn death, especially for unvaccinated women."

Read the article in @Forbes.

Our lucky last @QUTmaterials researcher recently promoted is @DrBryanTuten! Bryan's ARC #DECRA research involves cool polymer chemistry with some weird elements #selenium #QUTScience #polymers

[WCEpi2021 @WEpi2021]

A msg from #WCEpi2021 co-chair @lindaslacksmith, "This is a unique opportunity to hear from & engage with colleagues interested in epi internationally. I doubt we can truly engage in epidemiology/public health w/o understanding the global context; COVID-19 has demonstrated that."

[Queensland Health @qldhealth]

🗣️Dr Jeannette Young: "Queensland, COVID-19 is coming."

"We’ve done so well so far, thanks to you. But our toughest test is almost certainly still in front of us."

[Richard Riley (R²) @Richard_D_Riley]

TIP: when reviewing a prediction model study, start by searching for these words:
- sample size
- calibration
- missing data
- TRIPOD

Failure to mention these is heavily linked with a poor quality study.

Most studies fail to mention at least one of these, & many ignore all.

[Dr Aleena Wojcieszek @aleenawoj]

Love this. A quick and easy way to check exposure sites and venues in Australia. Bookmarked.

Please check in using the Queensland check in app.

It is also vital that anyone heading out to watch the game at a pub or club tonight check-in with the Queensland check in app.

And please remember, if you're sick, stay home. 2/2
