And finally Chloé Aupépin presented a poster on the impact of bacterial vaccines on #AMR ! 🦠

Using modelling, we can identify which bacteria and vaccine characteristics influence most the impact of these vaccines on reducing infections 📉

Another day another presentation, this time by Elise Hodbert on patient-transfer networks within and between hospitals! 🏥

Networks are mostly used for surveillance, to identify the facilities to monitor to detect outbreaks early. Possibly under-used for infectious disease transmission modelling...?

Day 2 of the AC Modélisation annual meeting at @pasteur.fr 💻 🦠

Several presentations by PhD students of the @mesurs-cnam.bsky.social lab, first one by Aurélie Maurin on vaccination dynamics against S pneumoniae - work directly informing vaccine strategy in France!

Day 1 of the AC modélisation annual meeting at @pasteur.fr 💻

First day is "early-career researchers day", with a round table on careers in academia in France, and now a discussion on the use of AI in scientific writing! Good to think about why we shouldn't list ChatGPT as an author on papers...

In a medium-sized city with two hospitals, we estimate that converting one of the two hospitals to a "quarantine hospital" can decrease the attack rate in HCWs by more than 10 percentage points, and the attack rate in non-HCWs by more than 20pp.

Quarantine hospitals were fully dedicated to the care of COVID-19 infected patients & staffed by healthcare workers staying continuously inside for 1-2 week-long shifts.
To understand their impact compared to keeping usual hospital organisation, we built a model coupling hospitals & community 💻

What trying to submit a project proposal 24h before the deadline looks like:

(mais apparemment c'est la même chose chaque année pour les projets ANR, je découvre juste 🤓)

Ce week-end c'était la Fête de la Science au @museeartsetmetiers.bsky.social avec +7500 personnes ! 🦠

Très heureux d'y avoir participé sur le stand du labo @mesurs-cnam.bsky.social, mais aussi avec @eloscicomm.bsky.social pour vous faire deviner des fun facts de bactéries !

A l'année prochaine...?

Programme pour moi:
- tous les jours : stand "Révéler les dynamiques invisibles des épidémies"
- vendredi 21h05: "Juste Nombre", tentez votre chance pour gagner des lots !
- vendredi 22h : "Speed Searching", je répondrai à vos questions les plus folles (eg: quelle quantité de café je bois par jour?)

Throwback to (almost) exactly 3 years ago while digging through photos, PhD viva day with @gmknght.bsky.social and @jodi-lindsay.bsky.social 😊 Great memories!

Starting soon at #ESCMIDGlobal this morning: Using mathematical and epidemiological models to identify the drivers of AMR !
Looking forward to hearing about diverse approaches, but also diverse pathogens 🦠
April 15, 2025 at 6:25 AM
And of course I couldn't miss @gmknght.bsky.social 's great presentation this morning on the role of mathematical modelling when thinking about One Health interventions against AMR ! 🦠💻

Key take-home message: transmission matters... #ESCMIDGlobal

#AdventofCode day 6 in #rstats
Quite proud of that one, even if part 2 is slow as it's just testing all possible spots to add a new obstacle! The solutions are quickly becoming long though 😬

#AdventofCode day 5 in #rstats
Not a solution unfortunately, I have to give up that day due to running out of time, and I can't figure out why this isn't working 😭 Might revisit later!

#AdventofCode day 4 in #rstats
Surely something nicer to be done with seq_along() or diag() ? Although I was happy that part 2 was shorter 🥳

#AdventofCode day 3 in #rstats
One day I will be able to do regex without having to google for which characters to use! (have I been telling myself this for the past 5 years? Maybe 🙃)
December 3, 2024 at 8:47 AM
#AdventofCode day 2 in #rstats
Fighting the habit of using loops instead of apply(), and I had to go hunting for some hints for part 2 to remember that seq_along() existed 🫠
December 2, 2024 at 9:15 AM
Skipped last year, but I'm ready to give #AdventofCode another shot now! 🎅💻
I'll post all my solutions in #RStats in this thread, no explanatory Rmds this year... (sorry!)

Without further ado, here's day 1:

Super happy to co-chair the #AMR session at the retreat of the Global Health department of @pasteur.fr with Carla Rodrigues today 🦠
Great speaker lineup and diversity of topics, from impact of COVID-19 to wastewater!
Thanks Maylis Layan, Carolina Nodari, Anne-Lise Beaumont & @maria-alexa.bsky.social

Our analysis shows that, yes, these values seem pretty well correlated!
Exciting next steps to analyse this further - if AMR in non-sterile samples is predictive of AMR in sterile samples, could be a game-changer to improve surveillance & treatment in low ressource settings... Tbc!

Poster by Auguste Caen (EMEA) on a novel approach to study microbiota data - adapting a general model to work with frequency estimates, which is what is most often available rather than absolute estimates! 🦠📊
November 19, 2024 at 10:23 AM
Talk by Laura Temime (MESuRS) on the impact of teleworking on health - with a model including both the infectious and non-infectious risks for workers, and the preprint available here: doi.org/10.1101/2024... 🏢🏠
November 19, 2024 at 10:23 AM
Poster by @maria-alexa.bsky.social (EMEA) on ESBL producing bacteria in households - understanding routes of neonatal acquisition to guide the implementation of interventions 👶🏡
November 19, 2024 at 10:23 AM
Talk by Maylis Layan (MEsURS/EMEA) on simultaneously capturing close contact and aerosol transmission - with a focus on respiratory pathogens in healthcare settings, and a powerful reconstruction algorithm involved 🗣️🙌
