Great opportunity to join the @nu_modeling team and do exciting research using mathematical modeling!

[Malaria Modeling at Northwestern @nu_modeling]

We are hiring! Looking for someone interested in adding mathematical modeling to their skill set. Open to many possible topics related to malaria: climate change, insecticide resistance, pregnancy and anemia, policy, and more!

How did the discovery of TB-treating antibiotics affect patient treatment in the mid-20th century? Our statistical analyses of sanatorium treatment length reveal a healthcare system responding to new technology in disparate ways:

I'm deeply confused by the so-called herd immunity (aka herd mentality) strategy. I don't just mean that I think this is a bad idea, but I think this strategy is fundamentally nonsense.

Congratulations to @lindseylbohr's successful PhD defense this afternoon! #ProudPI

[Erin Zwick, PhD @erin_zwick]

Today, after six years of intensive study and research, the smartest person I know defended his dissertation and earned his PhD in political science. Congratulations to my husband, the newly minted Dr. @MicahCRDillard!

[Erin Zwick, PhD @erin_zwick]

Today I defended my dissertation, "Modeling complex transmission dynamics in tuberculosis epidemics" and officially completed my epidemiology PhD at UW-Madison. Thanks to all who supported me along the way, especially the entire @Pepperell_Lab!

Calling all scientists: if you're willing to help with critical #covid19 response and diagnostic testing, please enter yourself in this database for local authorities to reach out to you. Experience with RNA extraction, qPCR, sequencing, etc., is a plus. https://t.co/W0k3r3Rjjp

1. @WHO DG @DrTedros says the #Covid19 pandemic is accelerating. Took 67 days to get to 100K cases, 11 days to get to 200K & 4 days to get to 300K.

US national flu-like illness (symptoms fever+[cough &or sore throat] trended up for first time while flu test + going down. Only one week so far but best evidence I know for widespread COVID-19 in absence of viral testing. Something to watch carefully in each region @CDCFlu

The graphics and simulations in this article are exceptionally clear, and may help you understand what’s going on with the spread of coronavirus. To be sure, the model is hyper-simplified, but the basic ideas are correct https://t.co/BRcxkpPe3V

When is the #Covid19 testing situation in the United States going to improve? Approval of Roche's test is going to help, but getting to needed capacity is still going to take time, @matthewherper explains. https://t.co/ERc53UVswK
