My first time presenting on compositional public health outside a maths venue! Working on general slogans but we describe it as:
"Compositional public health empowers researchers to reclaim agency through abstraction in public health."
Time to run studies using AlgebraicJulia!

John Snow (the "father of modern epidemiology") removed the handle from the public water pump at Broad Street in London on September 8th, 1854. Thus did a cholera epidemic meet the beginning of its end.

Sadly missing the No Kings rally to study for midterms, but it occurred to me that I could just hold up my Epi textbook and it would work fine as a denouncement of this administration.

In mathematical epidemiology, most people think that things like capturing human behaviour are "open problems"-this exchange makes me think a lot how much of that is just the last big epidemic we saw? Will we look bad for having worried about that if the next one is more about environmental factors?

Absolutely. It's almost as if they don't know what's going on 🤔
I should laugh really...
But what I'd like to see/hear is an explanation plus I'd like to read the science and epidemiology underpinning the decision-making. Academic papers etc

Impressive education.I am in awe. Epidemiology is so critical to infectious disease from emergent to endemic. What a good way to spend your work life. My college roommate is an immunologist, with medical doctors and health professionals scattered throughout my family.

I’m a UC Berkeley alum, Master in Public Health and PhD in Epidemiology. Still have my SF library card. I have in-laws who don’t believe dinosaurs existed because it’s not in the Old Testament.

A sudden well-timed crescendo sparks attention. Epidemiology teaches that viral spread depends on super-spreader moments, not steady drip.
