Delighted to have contributed to this article. 👇 COVID19 hasn’t gone away, and continued SARSCoV2 surveillance is critical.

New Paper🚀! Our work analysing the Swiss national SARS-CoV-2 wastewater 🚱 monitoring data is now published in PLOS Water 💧 @plos.org journals.plos.org/water/articl... (Julien Riou, @tanjastadler.bsky.social @trj2.bsky.social Christoph Ort et al)

Abstract and satellite submissions are open! Join us this summer in Boston for the 20th anniversary of @netsciconf.bsky.social netsci2026.com For some bonus content, here’s the 2006 conference homepage :)

The global return of childhood vaccine-preventable infectious diseases Truly outrageous that we are failing children everywhere in this day and age! www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/vacc...

The collateral benefits of the Covid pandemic response was a marked decrease in airborne and aerosol-transmitted infections via masking and non-pharmaceutical interventions @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

CDC FluView hasn't been updated in a month, so I will start posting Philadelphia flu activity updates weekly. It is especially important to track flu in the US this year, since there are reports of a severe early flu season in parts of Asia. The PA department of health also has a nice website. 1/2

JOB: Postdoctoral Research Associate to work on the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 using a very large dataset of more than 120,000 viral genomes generated as part of the ONS Covid Survey in Prof Katrina Lythgoe's Ecology and Evolution of Viruses Research Group. my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

Nice podcast by WorldPop of our recent article on modelling practices during COVID-19 👇 (link to the article www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2...)

In the past 2 weeks several European countries have reported locally acquired cases of #mpox clade Ib. This is new. There had been patients before but those infections likely happened elsewhere. Now it looks like mpox Ib is spreading here in the sexual networks of men who have sex with men. #IDsky

Our analysis of modelling practices, data use, and science-policy interactions during the COVID-19 pandemic is out on @eurosurveillance.org this week. www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2... Wonderful collaborative effort conducted in the context of mood-h2020.eu Read the thread below 👇

As one of the "we" very pleased to be part of this initiative. Thanks to @helcecilia.bsky.social @paulineezanno.bsky.social and @gaelbn.bsky.social for taking the lead on this one.
