Vaccinating people over 60 is the most effective way to mitigate mortality from #COVID19, a new age-based modeling study suggests. @bubar_kate@mlipsitch @yhgrad @StephenKissler https://t.co/jLpjL2HCdi
Welcome to Dr. Kate Bubar (@bubar_kate) who is joining us at @Stanford for her post-doc studying policy-relevant models of vaccine-preventable disease dynamics! @Stanford_Med_ID
The last week in Ambleside has been wonderful! Thanks @IDDconf for the opportunity to present my first in-person conference talk to such a friendly and thoughtful group
Science is hard.
Good research makes you feel stupid.
You're inadequate for the task at hand.
How else would it be? You're pushing the boundaries of knowledge.
Get used to it. This process is immensely rewarding.
Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.
First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

If anyone is looking for a clear and intuitive stats reference, I highly recommend this new book by Jem Corcoran! I took math stats with Jem and the whole experience was delightful. Her notes are 🔥 and I still reference them regularly.
Grateful for the opportunity to get feedback on my recent work, hear @bubar_kate expertly describe our published work, and learn from so many experts in epi modeling this week. Kudos to @MIDAS_Network for their work in creating a safe environment to share science at #MIDAS2022 🦠
Many journals require submission of a "tracked changes" and a "clean" version during the review process.
If you use custom #LaTeX commands to track changes, how do you remove the commands and associated brackets at final submission?

This summary by @macroliter is spot on 👏 In places with high vaccination rates, we should not be surprised by a transition from the majority of infections & hospitalizations occurring within the unvaccinated to within the vaccinated! 1/5
you may get a majority of deaths in vaxxed, even when overall vax rates are not super high, simply because high risk of death AND vaccination tend to coincide in the same people. 4/5
The final sentence of new IPCC report:
"The scientific evidence is unequivocal: climate change is a threat to human well-being and the health of the planet.
Any further delay in concerted global action will miss a brief and rapidly closing window to secure a liveable future."
