Out today, in PNAS - “Comparing metapopulation dynamics of infectious diseases under different models of human movement”

Do any of my friends in the epidemiology or mathematical modeling fields have a Bluesky invitation they would be willing to share? Get me out of here.

@Nicky_Dover Weird way to spell “lacrosse”

[David L Smith @ProfDavidLSmith]

We wanted to make it easier to build & use mechanistic models to understand malaria spatial transmission dynamics.

@george_berry I once asked someone who trades in baseball cards whether he’d be interested in buying my cards from when I was a kid. His answer, “are they from the 90s? We weigh those.”

[Daniel T Citron @citron_daniel]

@george_berry I did this recently. You know the stories of going into your closet at your childhood home, and finding thousands of dollars’ worth of collectibles that you’d forgotten about? This was the opposite of that.

For anyone working in science who starts to lose sight of why we fell in love with it - highly recommend attending a K12 science fair. Photos are from the @NYASciences SiR Student Expo

Our paper on co-location maps is out now! Using de-identified aggregated Meta user locations data to estimate how often people from two different locations come into contact with one another.

[Daniel T Citron @citron_daniel]

It was an unbelievable opportunity collaborating with @TheRealShankar and the rest of the Data for Good research team at Meta

With the longitudinal approach, it becomes easier to account for individuals who have been lost to care due to mortality or migration. The result is that the cross-sectional approach may overestimate the success of the cascade of care.

[Daniel T Citron @citron_daniel]

Thinking this week about these two papers by @NoahHaber and colleagues about longitudinal metrics for measuring the HIV cascade of care. Interested in exploring how cross-sectional data may overestimate the 90-90-90 metrics due to censoring out individuals who are not retained.

[Daniel T Citron @citron_daniel]

The Markov model explicitly accounts for retention vs. exit from the cascade by continuing to track individuals who are lost to mortality. This correctly accounts for individuals who are lost from the cascade, rather than censoring them out.

@george_berry When I read the Chomsky piece I found myself going back to this essay from a few years ago about the ways where using “computer processing speed” as a way to understand thinking/intelligence is wrong https://t.co/1qYj0O9AT6

[Daniel T Citron @citron_daniel]

Important and sobering work presented today by Karol Serwin at the Global Epidemonology of HIV session at #CROI2023. Studying the phylogeography of HIV as it has been transported from Ukraine to Poland due to the war and forced migration.

[Daniel T Citron @citron_daniel]

With @AnnaBershteyn’s team at #CROI2023, celebrating Masabho Milali’s poster presentation on the cost-effectiveness of the dual-prevention pill, which combines PrEP and oral contraception

[Daniel T Citron @citron_daniel]

Thrilled for the opportunity to attend #CROI2023 - first time at an HIV conference, excited to learn as much as I can about the field. Also excited to be back in Seattle.

[Daniel T Citron @citron_daniel]

@IDDjobs @AnnaBershteyn @nyulangone It’s a terrific team! Join us!

[David L Smith @ProfDavidLSmith]

We’re delighted to announce that our preprint is now available at medRxiv.

We wanted to understand heterogeneous spatial dynamics of malaria.

Led by ⁦@slwu89⁩ and ⁦@citron_daniel⁩ and John Henry.

I went with something truly chilling this year.
