@winexviv Making digital technologies a core subject is a powerful step forward. I'm curious to see what the curriculum will include - hopefully it ensures every student is introduced to at least one programming language. In today’s world, that’s as essential as reading and maths.

@olumuyiwaayo @SamdGreat01 It’s easier if you can secure a visiting professor position with them. Though not paid position but it allows you to give back in whatever capacity you wish to.

@J_LuengoCabrera @ACLEDINFO @Mapbox This is great! Wondering what this will look like temporally. Also, maybe some causal inference methods could help tease out the causal effect.

We are looking for a candidate to work on a PhD project “Hybrid geostatistical and machine learning methods for disease mapping”. Please reach out if you are interested.

@nimc_ng Can I modify place of birth?

Had an amazing week teaching at AIMS! The students were fantastic - engaged, curious, and asked some really thoughtful questions. Feeling grateful for the opportunity to give back to my continent. #AIMS #teaching #fulfillment 🌍📚

Computational Methods for #RandomEffect Models, by Johnson Olatunji, covered Laplace approximation, #MonteCarlo Maximum Likelihood & MCMC #algorithms for Bayesian inference, applied to spatial data. This was an opportunity to explore real-life #spatial disease data.

@JessicaBridgen Congratulations

@GeostatsGuy @X Another issue arises when you believe you've conceived a fresh idea, but upon crafting it into a paper, you discover that someone else has already published something similar.

[Olatunji Johnson @teejay21111]

Special thanks to @InesHC3 and me for curating this amazing experience!

[Olatunji Johnson @teejay21111]

Still buzzing from the mind-blowing talks at the RSS conference's Recent Advances in Spatial and Spatiotemporal Modeling session! A huge shoutout to our phenomenal speakers @FinnLindgren, @eliaskrainski, and @flaxter for their enlightening insights. #RSS2023Conf #Spatial

[Olatunji Johnson @teejay21111]

@GeostatsGuy How did you generate the samples? I guess you are sampling conditioning on the true model.

[Olatunji Johnson @teejay21111]

@matajson Congratulations!!!

[Olatunji Johnson @teejay21111]

I will be giving a talk at this event. Come join us and learn about the modelling approaches to tackle Neglected Tropical Diseases. See you all there! #NTD

@dgwinfred Congratulations

[Olatunji Johnson @teejay21111]

Glad to share our new paper where we use model-based geostatistics to assess the antenatal care coverage in three countries in SSA.

[Pete Macharia @Pete_M_M]

#Spatial variation & inequities in ANC4+ coverage: Kenya, Uganda & Tanzania. Our new paper in @BioMedCentral

Overall, coverage lower among the poor, uneducated & those #geographically marginalized from healthcare.

Useful for appropriation of resources

@5Lo2Fish @tvcnews Great point on the vulnerability mapping of the flood risk zones. In addition to that, steps you be taken to reduce the impact of the flood.
