Such a ridiculous take, I'm about to completely leave the platform because of the proliferation of bots. The only thing Reddit has the jump on is dead internet. www.fastcompany.com/91502976/red...

Two postdoc positions for a number of exciting epidemic modelling projects opening in my Unit at @pasteur.fr in beautiful Paris. Deadline for applications: 13th April. More details at the following link: research.pasteur.fr/job/two-post...

Marco is fantastic!

🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge has ruled in favor of @ameracadpeds.bsky.social and issued a preliminary injunction against the CDC. The ruling pauses the Jan 2026 childhood immunization schedule revisions, blocks RFK Jr's 13 recent ACIP member appointments, and pauses all votes taken by the committee.

Crazy when a satirical late show starts dropping serious journalism: youtu.be/_uBZVJ-iNUQ?...

The panel has voted to approve these flu strains for egg vaccines: A/Missouri/11/2025 (H1N1)pdm09-like; A/Darwin/1454/2025 (H3N2)-like; and B/Tokyo/EIS13-175/2025 (B/Victoria lineage) for cell and recombinant: A/Missouri; A/Darwin and B/Pennsylvania/14/2025 (B/Victoria lineage) #IDsky

Looks like normally circulating coronavirus have recently overtaken SARS-COV-2 on NREVSS test percent positivity. www.cdc.gov/nrevss/php/d...

Might have to get this cover framed

California boy dies of SSPE (measles complication) after being infected at age 7 months, when he was too young to be vaccinated.

Wow that's a bad take.

This article gets worse the more you read it. Come on journalists. www.ksl.com/article/5145...

Some good news at least. www.emro.who.int/sdn/sudan-ne...

The U.S. government has lost more than 10,000 STEM Ph.D.s since Trump took office. A Science analysis reveals how many were fired, retired, or quit across 14 agencies. Read more: https://scim.ag/4boPkq8

A little late but wowza, 200+ TB seroconversions at a high school is crazy. I remember the Hartsville, SC outbreak having like 50+ in 2025. Not a great time for our public health infrastructure to be collapsing. missionlocal.org/2026/02/rior...

Anyone else feeling conspiratorial that PAHO postponed the measles status review meeting until likely after the US election? #episky #idsky www.paho.org/en/news/2-3-...

Okay, map is back and working again. Mexico data is pulled from: www.gob.mx/salud/docume... Canada: health-infobase.canada.ca/measles-rube... USA: github.com/CSSEGISandDa...

I feel like I'd get cancelled if some circles saw this right now

Apologies for kind of breaking the measles map, trying to expand it to Canada and Mexico but I'm bad at anything web coding.

Rapid RSV tests linked to less antibiotic prescribing in kids An Italian study finds an RSV-positive rapid antigen test in children aged nine to 36 months was associated with a 48% reduced risk of receiving an antibiotic. www.cidrap.umn.edu/r...

State-level queens adjacency INLA seems MAUP-ish to me.

Having lost a brother to a Middle Eastern conflict, it definitely opens up some old wounds to see us marching right back in.

Published in @jappliedecology.bsky.social!😀 We show how (Hierarchical) Hidden Markov Models ((H)HMMs) can be tailored to different epidemiological scenarios to infer disease status directly from animal movement data. 🔗 ttps://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365-2664.70323

It's quite a time when NEJM is dropping a primary measles case presentation in their latest issue. Time to handle the new reality it looks like.

I honestly don't even really understand the point to this list, you could get a full PhD on just surveillance. And SER just lumps disease dynamics in like it's a blip. academic.oup.com/aje/article/...

We have posted data providing real-time measurement of human neutralizing antibody landscape to seasonal influenza. Data explain spread of subclades K (H3N2) & D.3.1.1 (H1N1), identify subclade K subvariants w reduced neutralization, & can inform choice of strains for next vaccine.

The saddest part is the complete denial and zero remorse.

This was absolutely written with ChatGPT. www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

I missed a couple of wastewater papers in the January MMWR, interesting temporality: www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes... www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...

"median incubation period from exposure to rash was 13.6 days (95% credible interval [CrI], 9.6 to 19.0 days). Five percent of cases are expected to develop a rash within 3.1 days (CrI, 1.3 to 5.5 days) and 95% within 32.3 days (CrI, 22.4 to 45.8 days)." www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...

I just noticed South Carolina published a county level measles dashboard a few weeks ago public.tableau.com/app/profile/...

Never thought I'd be making a measles case tracker: sethmund.github.io/measles-map/

Outstanding leadership there.

Here's a fun causal paper, it's every bit out there as the title would indicate. #episky academic.oup.com/nc/article/2...

Global #AidCuts could lead to at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues. About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.😱 www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... #GlobalHealth #ChildMortality #Under5Deaths #PreventChildDeaths

I hate to say it but I bet Google Earth AI would've really helped this paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Wonderful man and excellent advisor, his lessons will live on throughout my entire career.

Could always start screening red state border crossings for VPDs. Would certainly get the point across. www.nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1...

I highly recommend this chat if anyone liked listening to Paul Farmer and Bill Foege. RIP legends. #episky #idsky youtu.be/18k2ggYzkTw?...

Looks like ABC News actually did some great work with collaborators to set up this iteration of the tool: abcnews.go.com/Health/new-m... Here's the study which goes into much more depth, the tool is just the dose coverage. www.nature.com/articles/s44...
