@KarlyTegang Congratulations and welcome to YSM! Excited to meet you!

Researchers have disentangled the rhythms of human indoor activity to better understand the risks of respiratory disease transmission. https://t.co/pPCkBZHPJk

New in @TheLancetInfDis> The global landscape of #smallpox vaccination history and implications for current and future #orthopoxvirus susceptibility: a modelling study https://t.co/PpXH4nX3eW

[Colin Carlson @ColinJCarlson]

New paper from @bansallab team on global landscape of smallpox susceptibility has some of the coolest geospatial layers and demographic analyses that I've seen in infectious disease work https://t.co/bTHfpAmvGq

[Shweta Bansal @bansallab]

As we near the end of the 2022 monkeypox PHE, it’s important to keep an eye on future orthopoxvirus outbreak risk with residual smallpox vaccine immunity waning globally. Check out our new study led by @julianactaube⁩ & @mtevarest w/⁦@jlloydsmith⁩ https://t.co/hqmEDDCDxh

[Jamie Lloyd-Smith @jlloydsmith]

Monkeypox spread will be shaped by the global landscape of immunity left by past smallpox vaccinations. But this landscape hadn’t ever been mapped, until now. Check out our preprint, by @julianactaube and @mtevarest, led by old friend and new collaborator @bansallab. Her thread:

[Eva Rest @mtevarest]

Amidst the ongoing monkeypox outbreak, we investigate the global landscape of orthopoxvirus susceptibility and the varying legacy of smallpox vaccination. Many thanks to @bansallab and @julianactaube. Check out our preprint and a great thread on our work:

[Shweta Bansal @bansallab]

The ongoing monkeypox outbreak has brought to the forefront the legacy of smallpox eradication. Historical smallpox vaccination efforts were heterogenous leaving a modern patchwork of long-lasting protection. We characterize this landscape in new work: https://t.co/N60yNnhKuI. 🧵

This ruling will lead to deaths of pregnant people. Make sure you are registered to vote. Make sure the people who need reproductive healthcare can access it, no matter what. https://t.co/SrEiAefdHs

Public health is political. Gun violence is a public health crisis. We must keep pushing for change. Especially when it's difficult, keep trying.

@luketomasovic11 Agreed; I strongly support gap years, even if it sometimes seems like entering the great unknown. I learned and experienced so much in my gap years, personally and professionally, that made me stand out as an applicant and will make me a better physician-scientist.

[Shweta Bansal @bansallab]

Props to @ZacharySusswein and @mtevarest for their work in bringing this idea to fruition. You can read it here: https://t.co/rRMxr8fyCz. Happy to hear feedback. (11/11)

[Eva Rest @mtevarest]

We found notable heterogeneity in indoor activity at the U.S. county level, but there is still more to do. We commit to work to better understand the additional risks faced by marginalized communities, front-line workers, and folks lacking access to clean air and outdoor spaces.

[Shweta Bansal @bansallab]

We construct a novel metric for the propensity for human mixing to be indoor at a fine scale across the US, using anonymized phone GPS data of visits to ~5 million public locations by 45+ million mobile devices. Values > 1 suggest visits are more frequently indoor than avg. (4/)

[Eva Rest @mtevarest]

I'm proud to have worked on this study with @bansallab and @ZacharySusswein. COVID-19 underscores the importance of indoor contacts and airborne disease transmission risk, as well as the need to better understand patterns of indoor activity. Check out the thread for more info!

[Shweta Bansal @bansallab]

The pandemic has highlighted the increased risk of airborne transmission risk in INDOOR environments w/out ventilation. But it turns out we know very little about rates of indoor activity and how this varies by location. A 🧵on a new study in which we start to fill this gap (1/)

Stay safe and mask up this spring (even when you're vaccinated)! #VaxUpIL and find more info at https://t.co/nOLXCClqnj

#COVID19 vaccines are safe and effective.

More than 4.3 million vaccines have been administered in Illinois.

On this last day of Black History Month, we honor those who have contributed to the field of public health and improved the health of our nation. ✨👏✨

[Eva Rest @mtevarest]

On this #InternationalDayOfWomenInScience, I am so grateful to be mentored by amazing women in STEM like @bansallab. Determined to continue advocating for more women of color, trans women, LGBTQIA+ women, and non-binary folks in STEM.

[United Nations @UN]

The world needs science, and science needs women. 👩‍🔬🧪

@UN_Women explains why on Thursday's #WomenInScience Day: https://t.co/fcvDidjBrR

[UN Women @UN_Women]

They're healthcare workers & innovators, researching vaccines, pioneering treatments & inspiring girls to be forces of good in STEM.

Meet some of the #WomenInScience who are leading us to a safer future.

Hey Illinois, the best way to show love to yourself, your family, and your community is to get tested for COVID-19 before making plans to see them. Find your nearest COVID-19 testing site here: https://t.co/evazJGCQt2

[Eva Rest @mtevarest]

There is always more to discover about COVID-19 transmission, but some things we know for sure. Masks work, but only if you wear them. Mask up!

[IDPH | Illinois Department of Public Health @IDPH]

New research shows that more than half of all #COVID19 cases are spread by infected people without any symptoms. Wear a mask, wash your hands, and stay 6 feet from others—even if you’re feeling well.

[Eva Rest @mtevarest]

The race against #AntibioticResistance depends on us! Rapid diagnostics and informed care are crucial; we can't take antibiotics for granted. We discuss using data and diagnostics to combat #AMR now and in the future.

[GeorgetownGLID @GeorgetownGid]

It's not all about COVID-19! Other pathogens continue to emerge. Check out this take on solutions to clinical #antimicrobialresistance in the latest GLID student blog by @mtevarest, Grant Rosensteel, Emily Shambaugh, and @emmakoren21 https://t.co/JMs98AEVMn @JesseGoodmanMD
