@srpasricha - great work being done over your side of town.

[James Trauer @JamesTrauer]

Congratulations Shania Rossiter on a fantastic performance in her final seminar! Important research into pandemic preparedness and response led by Tony Blakely at the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health.

Congratulations to PhD candidate Viet Long Bui on this important https://t.co/8820naCZOJ considering the effect of the pandemic on TB control in Viet Nam and the potential of improved control through enhanced case finding activities. Really important work!

How can we estimate the economic effects of epidemics, pandemics and infectious diseases generally? Find out at our pre-congress session at IHEA: https://t.co/9Em2RxUynj with the STRIDE CRE and collaborators from the Kirby.

Tremendous work by Romain from our team to quantify the effect of school closures on the COVID-19 pandemic across the world: https://t.co/VgD1C9PpVq

Amazing job opportunity to be the new Victorian CHO! https://t.co/LuqE4532Pg

We're particularly pleased with the computational methods that underpin this analysis - including linking our software to leading packages at various stages of the analysis pipeline. For example, we created interactive visuals to explore our results here: https://t.co/ALwsSBaLHq.

[James Trauer @JamesTrauer]

Excited that our modelling analysis of Australia's Omicron waves is now published here: https://t.co/0t7SPXPlX2. Among other things, it suggests that our "shadow lockdown" reduced the size of our first wave, which likely helped to protect our health system as we opened up.

[James Trauer @JamesTrauer]

So excited that the team has been named as finalists in this year's Eureka Awards from the Australia Museum https://t.co/yFlcoqNWX3 It's fantastic recognition for the team's hard work with our collaborators across the Philippines, Malaysia and Vietnam.

Thanks @MichaelPlankNZ . This was led by RMIT and I was lucky to join to offer some advice. It is nice to see a simple-but-elegant model drawing on the best data we have for Australia and offering some sensible results.

[James Trauer @JamesTrauer]

Pleased to be involved with this great work led from RMIT. It leveraged the best quality (NSW) data we have on the important effect of vaccination during our first major waves of transmission.

Funding is so tight that I feel like we should write into our grant applications: "Well, I actually won't be doing much research on this project because I'll have to spend nearly all of my time applying to a whole load of other schemes with an 8% success rate."

[James Trauer @JamesTrauer]

This book is really worth a read - totally different perspective on public health to what I've been used to.

[Health Affairs @Health_Affairs]

In his new Forefront article, @JamesTrauer of @Monash_SPHPM reviews the book The Worlds of Public Health, which "provides a welcome antidote to the trend toward measurement and quantification in public health that only increased with the arrival of COVID." https://t.co/0F4OjtdPNE

[James Trauer @JamesTrauer]

Huge congratulations to Romain on this award. Can't wait to see the progress he makes in understanding TB epidemiology and control over the next five years!!

[Monash Public Health @Monash_SPHPM]

Massive congratulations to epidemiological modeller Romain Ragonnet on receiving the Frank Fenner @nhmrc Excellence Award last night, for his grant application for #Tuberculosis control #TB @Monash_FMNHS @MonashResearch https://t.co/u3RhMfwrTZ

[James Trauer @JamesTrauer]

Come and do a PhD in data science and modelling with my team: https://t.co/UKLJf4gTnC

[James Trauer @JamesTrauer]

Great to see AUSCMI's (our national Covid modelling collaborative group) submission to the national Covid response review posted online https://t.co/MCSP5rmC5m

[James Trauer @JamesTrauer]

@why_user_ @darkturkey27 @MianneBagger @cafelockedout @DrBillyBay @aishamae @theage @VicGovDH Sorry, it was shared with me privately by the Age, I'd have to let them or the Dept respond.

[James Trauer @JamesTrauer]

Fantastic news that "Determining health needs & outcomes of key populations of people who use drugs" led by @BurnetInstitute 's Prof Paul Dietze has been funded and should lead to critical insights into the health of this important and under-studied group! https://t.co/vOQPJeO39l

[James Trauer @JamesTrauer]

Great work (and persistence!) from Peter Markey and colleagues to get this unique economic assessment of Covid management published! https://t.co/dkRKocqRI5 Leverages important data from a health system that wasn't overwhelmed by load.
