E. coli can spread as quickly as swine flu, new research reveals. 🦠 For the first time, scientists can predict the rate at which gut bacteria pass between people — a major step towards tackling antibiotic-resistant infections. Read here ⤵️ sanger.ac.uk/news_item/ad...

Advanced disease modelling shows some gut bacteria can spread as rapidly as viruses
Experts can now predict the transmission rate of a bacterial E. coli infection in the same way as they can for viral pandemics, which can help battling treatment-resistant infections in the future.

Super excited to start as an assistant professor in applied statistics at Tampere University! At the same time, leaving Oslo and @ocbe.bsky.social after six years is really sad. Hopefully we’ll get to come back often.

1/ Introducing ACE (Amortized Conditioning Engine)! Our new AISTATS 2025 paper presents a transformer framework that unifies tasks from image completion to BayesOpt & simulator-based inference under *one* probabilistic conditioning approach. It's Bayes all the way down!

I am running my statistical rethinking course again starting in January. But this time just for Leipzig locals, so I can work with a smaller group this year and track individual progress better. I think that will help me tune the material, espeically homework, better. Materials still open however.
