the (rather condensed by my standards) slides for my own talk are available here: github.com/sampower88/t...

Just few days left to apply to one of these postdoc positions in my infectious disease modelling Unit at @pasteur.fr in Paris!

New postdoc positions with a number of exciting epidemic modelling projects opening in our Unit at @pasteur.fr in beautiful Paris. Deadline for applications: 26th June.

Starting to look like I might not be able to work at Harvard anymore due to recent funding cuts. If you know of any open statistical consulting positions that support remote work or are NYC-based, please reach out! 😅

After a long wait, the working paper for the Many-Economists Project: The Sources of Researcher Variation in Economics. We had 146 teams perform the same research three times, each time with less freedom. What source of freedom leads to different choices and results? papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Our short course in infectious disease epidemiology and control is now open for applications! I am proud to be the director of this popular hands-on course which will teach you the basics of epidemic modelling in just two weeks! Apply here and spread the word! www.infectiousdiseasemodels.org

If you’ve just arrived on BlueSky and are interested in infectious disease modelling, these starter packs are for you. 👇 I update them regularly, but I am sure I’ve missed many colleagues so don’t hesitate to send suggestions!

Infectious Disease Modelling starter pack update! First pack is full so I created a second one. Pls keep on sending suggestions! (bio should contain experience relevant for this pack)
IDModelling pack 1: go.bsky.app/86Ao1a5
IDModelling pack 2 : go.bsky.app/2oBB7KX

I created a starter pack for simulation-based inference (aka. likelihood-free inference).

Let me know if you’d like me to add you.

I made a starter-pack for Statistics and Statistics-related groups, departments or organisations. Please share, and suggest accounts that I have missed.

Starter pack of infectious disease modellers from CMMID - the Centre for Mathematical Modelling of Infectious Diseases at LSHTM.
We are 150 in CMMID but just getting started on Bluesky!

Personal reflection: "Clinical prediction models & the multiverse of madness"

Thanks to BMC Medicine for 'getting this'

Many reviewers/Eds pushed for writing style & tone changes

This thread delves into this & why we stuck to our original vision
