I model infectious disease in wildlife using #RStats and #JuliaLang, and I design dance larps about intergenerational trauma. 🇺🇸 🇨🇱 🏳️‍🌈 they/she/he, eng/esp

From the New Yorker.

Three scientists standing around in a lab. One of them says, “These days, if you’re not a mad scientist, you’re not paying attention.”

Decorating my apartment with signed posters of the larps I’ve written for @makeascenemn.bsky.social

A white hallway with posters for the larps Desaparecides and The Language of Bones.

I don’t rubber duck my code, I goldfinch my code

I hold an American Goldfinch stuffed toy in front of a monitor and mechanical keyboard

My very rain-soaked sign at the #HandsOff protest today.

A very wet hand drawn sign that says “Thank your local trans scientist”

Anyway, in fun larp design news, I bought a new lighting system to use for my larps. This is a light combo I use to evoke dreams, magic, and possibility.

A guest bedroom flooded with pink and purple light.

Tweeting about scientific findings in the US right now like

The "this is fine dog" meme where a dog sits calmly in a house on fire. The dog says, "So here's some cool science."

I’m reading this book chapter, which describes approaches for estimating disease parameters for seasonal flu from social media posts about symptoms, vaccination, and isolation. It’s a recent work, but it already feels out of date due to the fragmentation of social media. 🧪🧵 (1/3)

A book chapter called “Combining Theory and Data Driven Approaches for Epidemic Forecasts” by Lijing Wang, Aniruddha Adiga, Jiangzhuo Chen, Bryan Lewis, Adam Sadilek, Lijing Wang, Aniruddha Adiga, Jiangzhuo Chen, Bryan Lewis, Adam Sadilek, Srinivasan Venkatramanan, and Madhav Marathe
