We are excited to have a new paper published in Science Advances on Socioeconomic and temporal heterogeneity in SARS-CoV-2 exposure and disease in England — a great team effort led by @sjbhatt.bsky.social and Prof Neil Ferguson, in collaboration with the whole team. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Thoughts on how AI can help prepare for the next pandemic - Thanks for having led this work @mugkraemer.bsky.social Joseph L.-H. Tsui Serina Y. Chang, @sjbhatt.bsky.social - it is an honour to be part of it!

AI is poised to accelerate understanding in infectious diseases, but its value needs to be demonstrated through close collaboration between research, industry, society, and policy. Paper free to read: rdcu.be/eaxEw Summary here: www.ox.ac.uk/news/2025-02...

An interesting paper out today www.nature.com/articles/s41... As well known to many of us, tabular data is fiendishly hard, and whenever a new method comes out, boosting still beats it. Always, but this paper suggests deep learning is finally competitive.

Took us some time to get this out. Shows how one metric fits all can be dangerous. Thanks to all co-authors.

Stunting/wasting in children in Sub-Saharan Africa is a major public health concern. However, we show that identifying where the problem occurs can be difficult due to confounding with ethnicity. journals.plos.org/globalpublic...

New paper from Jacob and Frederik in the group. We have been interested in branching processes for a while now. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
