How much statistical sleight of hand can you spot in this paragraph on the new CDC website, which is now littered with muddled and flawed claims about vaccines and autism? www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe... 🧵

We're advertising an MRC-LID PhD studentship on modelling measles outbreak risk in teenagers and adults, with me, @amsuffel.bsky.social and @rozeggo.bsky.social You'll design mathematical models using vaccine data and Electronic Health Records to analyse recent transmission patterns, get in touch!

📢New paper led by @amsuffel.bsky.social in Nature Comms! We implemented a mathematical model to evaluate how vaccination timing and vaccine coverage impact measles dynamics, following the JCVI's recommendation to bring forward the second dose of MMR vaccine to 18 months of age by 2026 in England🧶

[New finding!] Ryohei Mogi, Ryota Mugiyama, & Alyce Raybould (@alyceraybould.bsky.social ) has shown that individuals without a romantic partner are more likely to revise their fertility desires downward.‪ ‬

West parents warned as fifth of UK measles cases in region In Bristol Live @benk-d.bsky.social & @alxsrobert.bsky.social discuss why #vaccination is best protection against #measles as new figures from UKHSA show cases rising in Bristol & South West England. www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

In response to unsupported claims about the magnitude of measles waning, @alxsrobert.bsky.social contributed to this FactCheck piece, drawing on evidence from our recent paper on measles dynamics in England: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... www.factcheck.org/2025/03/rfk-...

Should you get a measles booster? In National Geographic @alxsrobert.bsky.social discusses modelling study showing two doses of #measles vaccine gives lifelong protection from measles even if #immunity decreases very slowly over time.💉 www.nationalgeographic.com/health/artic...

PhD position with me and Neil Ferguson (Imperial) starting in September. March 7 deadline. Home fees only (unfortunately). Looking for an enthusiastic student looking to learn new things. Please get in touch for more info or an informal conversation.

The advert is now live here: jobs.lshtm.ac.uk/EPH-EPED-202... Until August 2027 we would be working on data analysis and modelling to try and untangle the dynamics of #AMR by age and sex exploring electronic health records 🧫📑👩‍💻. Get in touch if any questions!

Incredibly excited to share that our manuscript was just published in @nature.com ! What a way to start the new year! 🎉 https://buff.ly/4gyYCzx We present phylowave, a framework that enables to learn the fitness dynamics of pathogens from phylogenies. 🧵 A thread... 1/n #IDSky #IDModelling

1/ 🎉 Thrilled to share our new study: Quantifying the impact of pre-vaccination titre and vaccination history on influenza vaccine immunogenicity 🦠💉 Published in Vaccine! link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kD7x,60n7... with @adamjkucharski.bsky.social

We used a transmission model to understand differences in Covid severity and mortality in different socioeconomic strata in England. The model had different demography and underlying health status by strata. Led by @lucygoodfellow.bsky.social bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

The challenge of a measles resurgence In @gavi @alxsrobert.bsky.social & Ben Kasstan-Dabush explain how #measles outbreaks in lower vaccine coverage groups & the restructuring of vaccination services have made access to vaccines harder💉 #PublicHealth www.gavi.org/vaccineswork...
