UT COVID-19 Modeling Consortium unites scientists, social scientists, and engineers in developing innovative models for surveillance, forecasting and mitigation
We are seeking outstanding postdoctoral scholars to contribute to modeling the spread, surveillance, forecasting, and control of influenza and other IDs. @UTPandemics@meyerslab Apply here https://t.co/WmIHQN1eRc.
A new study by UT researchers estimates influenza vaccination prevented ~ 70,000 US hospitalizations in 2022–2023. Vaccinating young adults provides strong indirect protection for older adults.👉https://t.co/5t52zg42TU @UTPandemics@UTAustin@TexasScience@DellMedSchool@texas_IB
Austin @austintexasgov & @AusPublicHealth, in collaboration with a national network of public health leaders & academic institutions, #epiEngage@UTPandemics@meyerslab, have developed a measles calculator now being used nationwide to prevent outbreaks 👇 https://t.co/AuMkz8SCMs
Lauren Ancel Meyers is a UT researcher whose pandemic modeling helped shape COVID-19 strategy across the U.S.
Now, she’s leading efforts to equip public health agencies with powerful tools to prepare for future outbreaks — saving lives through data. 🧠

Not your usual game night! @UTPandemics brought public health experts & researchers together for a gamified outbreak simulation, dissecting clues to track a hypothetical disease spread & sharing diverse opinions on the importance of pandemic preparedness.👇https://t.co/KMqBvYmIbW
If you want a little politics cleanser, I finally made a short write up on our recent paper looking at how the size of an outbreak forecast ensemble impacts its performance: https://t.co/BzsySF1EgU
A retrospective cohort study reveals crucial insights on Paxlovid efficacy in hospitalized COVID patients. Early treatment within 3-5 days significantly reduces viral shedding & transmission risks in our recent study👉https://t.co/85c9JOTTGG

Tracking COVID dynamics & population immunity. Our projections for BA.1, BA.4 & BA.5 suggest that higher levels of SARS-Cov-2 booster uptake in mid 2022 would've averted thousands of deaths in the US. @meyerslab@UTPandemics@AnassBouchnita@FoxandtheFlu https://t.co/lP3MjaKRyU
In this @NewYorker post, @UTAustin modeling team (@meyerslab, @UTPandemics) was mentioned as having played a pivotal role in pandemic response and their innovative use of cell-phone data to track mobility patterns captured dynamic shifts in human behavior.
