Responding more effectively to public health emergencies.
Two @UF & @UF_EPI faculty are part of a new CDC-funded outbreak analytics and disease modeling network, designed to improve our nation's response to the outbreak of infectious diseases. phhp.ufl.edu/2023/09/28/uf-e…

Florida’s controversial surgeon general Joseph Ladapo — who is also a tenured professor of medicine at UF — is at odds with the university over whether the public should receive new COVID-19 boosters.

A short 🧵on a recent study by @MaggieLind2 with @MHitchingsEpi @datcummings Albert Ko et al. Data show that immunity induced by vaccines, prior infection or both (hybrid) protects against SARS-CoV-2 infection when viral exposure is low to moderate (1/)

Our new Fluscape work is out @eLife. We reported long term intrinsic cycles in individual antibody responses against 21 A(H3N2) strains that were isolated between 1968 and 2014. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.81457

We showed that shift in #demography is the key driver of 4 #decades of rising age of #DHF in #Thailand (8y->24y). Opportunity to make long-term #projections of #dengue based on demography elsewhere.

New research by @UF_CLAS and EPI biologist @datcummings shows that as populations of people gain immunity to dengue, it drives evolutionary pressures that select for viral evolution—and newly susceptible hosts. bit.ly/3HAZUZG @UFNews @UFExplore

May reflect evasion of heterotypic immunity but lots of work to do to understand selective pressures that could give rise to this pattern. With @hsalje Steve Whitehead @wrair Ana Coello @HuangAngkanaT @ufidd and others. 2/2

New work led by @LeahKatzelnick characterizing antigenic evolution of dengue viruses over 20 years in Thailand science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… We found that dengue viruses became more antigenically distant from each other over time. 1/2

Our work about individual NPI policies’ effects on COVID-19 spread in the US counties is now out @NatureComms. We found, earlier in the pandemic, multiple interventions were needed to bring Rt below 1. Relaxing some NPIs needs counterbalanced by others.1/3 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

U of Illinois did 1.3% of total testing done in the US last week – w/ a low-cost saliva-based test they developed to test 50K students & faculty, 2x/wk, with <6 hr turnaround.
Is this science fiction?
👉No. They had the will to try.
What's your school doing?
@OpenCovidScreen
Last week #UIUC did 1.3% of all #COVID19 tests done in US.
@Illinois_Alma has a science-driven way to #ReopenUniversities safely

I am calling on tenured faculty across academia to use their status, stand up to the universities, and protect graduate students/adjuncts/postdocs/non-tenured faculty/staff/contract workers/other vulnerable individuals at universities.

In the past 24 hours, several senior American generals have spoken out to remind Americans that they serve the constitution, not the president. Where are the senior Republicans? Why don't they offer a similar message? Here is my explanation:

Mean number of days between someone getting infected with #COVIDー19 and their *infector* showing symptoms is negative 0.19 days! Suggesting most transmission is happening from pre-symptomatic individuals and masks are critical. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
