Our last keynote speaker, Dr. Vittoria Colliza shows how social contact data can be used epidemiologically to predict disease transmission patterns for diseases like CoVID-19.

Really great and important work led by @aliciacaitlin8 and @lindsay_keegan!
I'm very excited to share this preprint on the effectiveness of mask mandates in Utah! In no small part because the first author, Alicia Horn, is an undergrad who has been working with me since her freshman year! (She was funded by @uofuour) doi.org/10.1101/2023.11.13.2…

With $18 million from @CDCgov, a @UUtah-led initiative will strengthen the response to infectious disease outbreaks. The center builds on partnerships between @UofUHealth academics, clinicians, and health departments and health systems in UT, WA, ID, MT healthcare.utah.edu/press-re…

If you're interested in infectious disease modeling and looking to relocate, join @lindsay_keegan here with @Utah_IDD at @UUtah for easy access to these amazing views and experiences.
I know everyone is complaining about the snow, but I'm over here on team winter. After work ski touring while its still light out is everything to me.

Great work led by @alex_beams suggesting a more nuanced understanding of 'persistent' and 'intermittent' carriers with organisms such as S. aureus.
New @AmJEpi: @alex_beams and colleagues used mathematical models to show that S. aureus "carrier types" are data artifacts, not reliable signs of underlying heterogeneity @dendroicap @lindsay_keegan @damon_toth @karimskhader @msamore @Utah_IDD ow.ly/p8cn50LK6x9

Great work presented at #SHEASpring2022 by @brintzbe!
🔥🔥🔥 @brintzbe rocking the #stewie oral presentation. Proving through #VA data that past FQ use associated with future FQ resistance. #SHEASpring2022 @SHEA_Epi
