This decision analytic model, based on plausible assumptions of immune escape and vaccine recommendations, suggests that maintaining universal #COVID19 vaccine recommendations could save more lives than targeting high-risk groups alone. ja.ma/47QhWqp

Prof. Mauricio Santillana discusses a PNAS study using 430K+ survey responses from all U.S. states (2020–22). The research reveals how personal choices, politics, and health guidance shaped COVID-19 behaviors, offering a deeper view beyond policy compliance. news.northeastern.edu/2025/09/17/c...

Results from last year's Scenario Modeling Hub COVID projections were published today, timely perhaps 👀 Quoted in www.cnn.com/2025/09/18/h... and article at jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Wastewater from airplane toilets? We introduce a global Aircraft-Based Wastewater Surveillance Network (WWSN) for pandemic monitoring in Nature Medicine 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s415... Aircraft-based wastewater surveillance allows for real-time, non-invasive monitoring of global pathogen spread Short 🧵

🧵 1/N Our new study on the strength and durability of indirect protection from vaccines and infection-acquired immunity against SARS-CoV-2 is published this week in @naturecomms.bsky.social! We find that both vaccines and infection-acquired immunity reduce transmission to close contacts.

So good to see this work by Pantea, Mark and Jeremy out in the world. 👏

Our framework for combining standard epi models with an economic dynamic decision model is up on medRxiv! super flexible and excited to see where this project goes next www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Little write up just published on the process and impacts of the Scenario Modeling Hub, a huge effort it's an honour to be a part of 🎉. The US COVID-19 and Influenza Scenario Modeling Hubs: delivering long-term projections to guide policy doi.org/10.1016/j.ep...

Imagine our profession was built so that you could advance your career without moving all the time. Isn't this a huge piece of the equity and access problem? Yes, it is.

Excited our work evaluating covid19scenariomodelinghub.org is out in Nature Communications www.nature.com/articles/s41... , with an accompanying piece here theconversation.com/pooling-mult.... Kudos to the brilliant @emilyhowerton.bsky.social for leading this work, and the many other contributors.
