Check out our new paper on inferring transmission chains from contact data, pathogen genomes and dates of symptom onset (it only took 5 rounds of revision!) journals.plos.org/ploscompbi… @TeebzR @dr_anne_cori
Happy to see our analysis of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in hospitals using outbreaker2 finally out!

On that note - outbreaks v1.5 is now out on CRAN! With new datasets on Nipah in Malaysia (kindly provided by @SACEMAdirector) and dog rabies in Central African Republic. More contributions always welcome @RECONEPI @TeebzR @jonny_polonsky @ZKamvar
outbreaks - Empirical or simulated disease outbreak data, provided either as RData or as text files. #rstats github.com/reconhub/outbreak…

So there's a lot of news going on right now, but something that's continuing to get lost in the noise is the Ebola outbreak happening in a WAR ZONE along with the election turmoil in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Buckle in for my thread.

#Ebola uh-oh: “We are very concerned by the epidemiological situation in the Butembo area,” said John Johnson, MSF project coordinator in Butembo, a city of a million people.
@WHO is concerned. @MSF is concerned. Don't like the sound of this. doctorswithoutborders.org/wh…

People often ask why I'm a climate scientist in a political science department. The short answer is: because climate change is the most political science and more physical science isn't what's stopping us from acting on climate. These political scientists get it:

Happy hands on camel research by @amy__dighe at the @MM_HPRU away day #camelsoftwitter
Coding away the Sunday to end our week in Malta (with IRL field epis, how exciting) #ESCAIDE @RECONEPI
Interested in tracking hospital infections using WGS? If you can find me among the 100s of posters, please come for a chat (Poster LB-5292) #ASTMH18 #TropMed18
Perhaps the biggest lover of camels out there, well worth a chat for that reason alone #TropMed18 #ASTMH18
Interested in zoonotic disease, MERS, or just a chat about camels? Come find me and my poster LB-5379 in the latebreaker section this lunchtime! #TropMed18 #ASTMH18
One excellent poster by one excellent malaria researcher...do yourself a favour and have a chat with @HellewellJoel at #TropMed18 @Imperial_IDE

Yesterday we had the kickoff meeting of our joint #R4epi project, a project between @MSF @msf_innovation and @RECONEPI advancing operational Epi analyses in the field. Cleaning/shaping data, faster and more consistent analyses, directly supporting field interventions. #rstats
Interested in inferring transmission networks from WGS and epi data? Have any good model ideas you've been burning to try out for yourself? Check out our paper on outbreaker2, finally out in BMC Bioinformatics: rdcu.be/9MVY. @TeebzR @XavierDidelot @dr_anne_cori

Very proud of @fCampbell93 's first paper, finally out in @PLOSPathogens
How informative are genomic sequences for reconstructing outbreaks?
