Such an honour to share #SACEMA #WAD2022 lecture with @LeighJohnson9 and to reflect on the incredible progress against #HIV of the past decade, what modellers got right and wrong, and what the future could hold; and so many special collaborations along the way. @MRC_Outbreak

Talk to me about using pseudo-absences in epidemiological studies. I'm seeing it a lot in ecological studies, but have been asked to apply it in a cancer study... I'm not super clear on how this will work and would love to hear from others (1/2)

much more evidence about energy framework & how to apply with nuance

Some summary thoughts:
- specific: recent MPX paper does NOT say heterogeniety / homophily *caused* incidence trends we see now
- says "can explain"
- I think herd immunity threshold (HIT) is a useful framework idea, like energy
- but: we have (1/2)

Nice new paper using comparative modelling to examine at the effect of HIV on cervical cancer elimination in South Africa, including the MicroCOSM-HPV model developed by @LeighJohnson9 and #SACEMA's @carivs

Can’t recommend this workshop highly enough! Two weeks learning principles of software engineering and applying them directly to your own scientific programming project. I attended in Jan 2020, and it set the stage for a lot of the work I did during the pandemic. Apply today!

[ICI3D @ICI3D]

We’re excited to announce that the awesome Software Engineering for the Applied Mathematical Sciences (#SEAMS) is now part of @ICI3D!

#SEAMS 2023 will@be held 27 Feb - 10 Mar in Stellenbosch. Applications are open!
