ISMB/ECCB is amazing!
It's probably the best computational biology conference. I've learned a lot this week.
ISCB has a strong and rigor research culture.
Look to ECCB 2026 at Geneva next year: eccb2026.org

Plague remains a health issue in several parts of the world—especially in Madagascar, where epidemics follow a seasonal pattern. In our new @pnas.org paper, we link that seasonality to rat and flea dynamics and quantify the impact of various control strategies. doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Serological data provide key insights on pathogen circulation. We introduce a new R package, Rsero, which is a pipeline to store and analyze age-stratified sero data, estimate the history of pathogen circulation and compare different transmission models.

"定風波" by 蘇東坡

莫聽穿林打葉聲,何妨吟嘯且徐行。
竹杖芒鞋輕勝馬,誰怕?一蓑煙雨任平生。
料峭春風吹酒醒,微冷,山頭斜照卻相迎。
回首向來蕭瑟處,歸去,也無風雨也無晴。

No one best way to measure #infection risk in populations.

Cross-sectional sero: weak temporal signal, CXR, waning as we know. Extra care needed for longitudinal #serology as Ab kinetics and assay noise can mess up estimates by a lot. Cases can be powerful!
