R Epidemics Consortium (RECON)

RECON assembles international experts creating tools and training for disease outbreak analysis using #opensource #Rstats.

[R Epidemics Consortium (RECON) @RECONEPI]

Very happy to announce that @RConsortium has awarded us a grant to develop the RECON COVID19 challenge to centralise #rstats analytics needs to respond to the pandemic.

pins 1.0.0 is out now: https://t.co/HtfCoZARWf — pins publishes data, models, and other R objects, making it easier to share them across projects and with your colleagues. pins 1.0.0 includes a major update to the interface. #rstats

Hey folks! The deadline to apply as a community to host a (fully paid for) open science + open source intern is September 17 - I want to see more communities applying!

Pls dm me if you have qs, or email y.yehudi at wellcome dot org

It’s appalling that rich countries, having bought and hoarded their way to the front of the COVID vaccine queue, are now talking about autumn boosters rather than going all out to get doses to the places that really need them. https://t.co/FZoXAmcwrd

1/2 The Epi R Handbook is updated to R v4.1! Written by and for applied epidemiologists - check out https://t.co/54v72WHIzX!

Also, our page on epidemic curves now reflects v1.1 updates to the incidence2 package (developed by @RECONEPI)

[MSF Science @MSFsci]

Are you interested in learning how to use R?

Written by and for epidemiologists, the Epidemiologist R Handbook is a free, open-access resource serving as a reference manual for R and is available in an offline version.

Check out the latest updates: https://t.co/hCioTgvNgd

Amazing work by amazing people! Anyone interested in #outbreak analytics in #rstats, this new, free, comprehensive resource is soon going to be your new best friend.

Many thanks to @RConsortium for their support and to Matthieu Rolland and Ben Ortiz Ulloa for getting this off the ground! #rstats skills can help inform #epidemic response - all help is welcome!

[R Consortium @RConsortium]

Your R programming skills can help fight COVID-19! Find out how you can contribute to improve free and open source R tools as part of the COVID-19 Challenge - from the R Epidemics Consortium @RECONEPI @TeebzR #rstats #covid #datascience https://t.co/ReUMROBjhe

How do we adapt #COVID19 transmission models to local settings & why is that important? 🤔

@rozeggo & colleagues explain in @nresearchnews, outlining the challenges of incorporating setting-specific intricacies.

@cap1024 @WHOGOARN My experience has been basics done well will address many issues, but will also pave the way for more advanced analyses. Part of the reasons why @RECONEPI has devoted time to both - examples follow.

[Thibaut Jombart @TeebzR]

@cap1024 @WHOGOARN @RECONEPI Example of basics done well can be found in @_TimTaylor_ 's incidence2 for handling epidemic curves https://t.co/FcCjW4cLQE

Is the new variant of SARS-CoV-2 more transmissible than others and if yes by how much? We @cmmid_lshtm are currently looking at this by comparing reproduction numbers between local areas in England (w/ @seabbs). WORK IN PROGRESS, NOT PEER REVIEWED. 1/10
