Are you interested in survival analysis or infectious disease modelling? Ever wondered how the two could contribute to one another? 🤔 Well come along to the next Epinowcast seminar tomorrow!

Our next Epinowcast session will focus on #Ebola. 3-4 speakers with short perspectives (5-10 mins each), followed by an open discussion. Topics will cover Ebola transmission dynamics as well as the current BVD outbreak response, approached through an infectious disease modelling lens.

She'll walk us through how it works, the technical challenges, and what makes forecasting relevant for public health. We'll have plenty of time for discussion, so come for the talk and stay for the chat! 🤓

🎉🦠 I've recently joined the organising team for the Epinowcast seminar series with Fanny and @seabbs.bsky.social, and I'm excited to announce our first speaker: Dr Eva Bons on RespiCast, ECDC's forecasting hub for respiratory diseases!

The pandemic gave us a rare chance to separate two effects that are normally difficult to disentangle— maternal immunity and age-dependent disease risk — and use that to assess the impact of maternal vaccination on infant RSV burden.

Clara Brigitta @clarabrigitta.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

We found that maternal immunity only meaningfully protects newborns when mothers are infected in the last 3 months of pregnancy — and wanes by 6 months. Missing a first RSV season during lockdown led to higher disease rates in later seasons.

🌟 Excited to share my first PhD publication! 🌟 Our paper in Epidemics uses a mathematical model + Scottish surveillance data to understand what COVID-19 pandemic disruptions revealed about RSV disease in young children.

I just participated in my first research study ✨ What will be the UK’s largest ever health research programme. Really cool to see the process behind data collection 👀 They are still looking for volunteers! #ourfuturehealth
