Any interest in infectious disease ecology? I work on understanding how close we are to eliminating communicable, vaccine-preventable diseases in humans and livestock. My work touches public health, ag, and uses observational data and theory/models to look at FMD in livestock and measles in humans.

Prediction of subnational-level vaccination coverage estimates using routine surveillance data and survey data Measles vaccination has significantly reduced the global burden of the disease, but disparities in vaccination coverage persist. Accurate and timely e…

Really pleased to be able to share this work by @deepit.bsky.social on predicting subnational measles vaccination coverage in sub-Saharan Africa. He shows that a statistical model based on country-level surveillance data can generate estimates almost as good as the DHS-survey gold standard 🧵 /1

I fucking love gadgets. I like new things. I set up a gadget savings account ten years ago to restrict myself on gadget purchases because I am a gadget loving freak.

Pretty amazing for the tech industry to make someone like me into a tech dethusiast in a matter of five years.

He was so eager for it, did it too soon

When I use Google now I just automatically scroll past the AI summaries like they’re banner ads

Oat milk is a tough one! I had to use amylase enzymes to reduce the goopiness and improve the texture. After doing it once (and getting pretty good results) I'm back to buying it in stores.

Looking forward to applying for this program!

A medium sized dark brindle dog looks at the camera. He is standing and there is a faint outline of a guitar and a glow of light behind his head. He has very large ears.

We love to see his “I want to wrestle” look

When companies forbid consumption of their own products, that should tell you something...

the more democrats concede to the republican war on trans people, the more that signals to the public that trans people are a problem and should be stigmatized.

Medicaid financed the cost of 34% of births in Pennsylvania in 2022, according to KFF. If you live in PA, call McCormick and ask him what he thinks about slashing that program

University of Toronto DLSPH. If you want to do research-oriented or community-oriented work, it's all possible due to the size of Toronto.

That’s why it’s so absurd when people say “we can’t fight Trump, he thrives on conflict.” Bullies like Trump do not thrive on genuine conflict with real stakes. They thrive on fake conflict they can win and control. They fear real conflict immensely. Conflict is how you beat them. They are cowards.

A joke about Cabinet appointees and their disqualifying traits that substitutes “a junkie” for RFK Jr.

Really wild how people continue to act like RFK Jr.’s problem is his remote history of heroin addiction in sustained recovery and not the fact that he’s a sociopathic, science denying, con artist, who wants kids to die so he can make a buck, which has nothing to do with him using heroin decades ago.

Dhume, as the descendant of a Partition refugee, I am saying this with my full chest: you can fuck right off.

Thanks! I’ve seen it once in person in central PA, but I’m sure you’ll have better luck finding out in WA

A dog is resting on a cane sofa with floral print cushions. His chin is resting on bellows and bright light is streaming into the room and hitting part of the sofa.

@ilfordphoto.com my first time using XP2 and I’ll definitely use it again.
