*PUBLICATION* Check out this new paper from HPRU-EZI researchers Oxford Statistics MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis including Ruth McCabe OJ Watson who discuss the communication of uncertainty arising from #epidemic models: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We would like to congratulate Ruth McCabe on winning the HPRU EZI award 🏆for delivering the best presentation ("Communicating uncertainty in epidemic models") at our Annual Meeting in Liverpool last month, presented by our Academic Career Development Lead Lance Turtle 👏👏

And thank you so much to Azra Ghani, Christl Donnelly, Ruth McCabe @creswapi Carolin Vegvari DeirdreHollingsworth Rosie Maddren Chi Wai (Jessie) Ng, Anna Petherick, Yuxi Zhang + more 'data crunchers' who helped me with my Science Museum #COVID19 blog and issue of #InterfaceFocus!

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Statistics is an incredible field that I love and am proud to be a part of. If any of the below resonates with you please think about joining us! #WomenInScience

Excited to be taking part in next week's #OPENShowcase! Join us Francis Ayomoh @jessRmorley @QueensCollegeOx at Trinity College to celebrate and discuss the contributions doctoral students can make towards policy. Sign up here: eventbrite.com/e/doctoral-stu…

Thanks Ed Mullins for the opportunity to work on this! We were able to recreate the first wave trends in COVID-19 hosps and deaths in London from these routine blood samples, suggesting their suitability for tracking future emerging pathogens.

Happy International Day of Women in Statistics and Data Science 🥳 Huge thanks to all who spoke at or attended our celebration this afternoon Oxford Statistics #IDWSDS2022

Surreal to work with inspirational scientists for the Infected Blood Inquiry ft. a sci-comm masterclass from David Spiegelhalter, SheilaBird and StephenEvans in presenting our evidence this week. Forever grateful to have been involved, but wish it were not in such difficult circumstances.

NEW EPISODE of #ScienceInContext is out now! Sabine L.van Elsland speaks with Ruth McCabe of University of Oxford about: ➡️Contributing to the Infected Blood Inquiry ➡️The scale of HIV and HepC infections ➡️ Mini models and filling gaps in data One to watch #InfectedBloodInquiry 👇

NEW EPISODE! Sabine L.van Elsland in conversation with Ruth McCabe & OJ Watson about ➡️alternative data sources to track the impacts of #COVID19 in areas with very poor surveillance systems ➡️now published in Science Advances Imperial College London Oxford Statistics HPRU EZI Schmidt Science Fellows

Congrats Ruth McCabe on your paper (and thank you for interning with World Health Organization (WHO)!). Seroprevalence was pivotal during #COVID19 (see: who.int/emergencies/di…) and alternative indicators for deaths can supplement existing data systems in all countries. Science, solutions, solidarity

Ruth McCabe working with Maria Van Kerkhove putting the world to rights!

Pre-print out now! medRxiv (not yet peer reviewed) Our pathogen epidemiology review group is building a catalogue of outbreaks, mathematical models, and disease parameters for 9 World Health Organization (WHO) priority pathogens First up is Marburg Virus Disease👇 medrxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵1/3

Pleasure was all ours Ruth McCabe! Looking forward to continued work together! #TackleMERS #ProudToBeWHO

3/ UKHSA-INI ECR scheme 💬 Chris provided gave scheme overview from UK Health Security Agency perspective 💬 Ruth McCabe with insights on experiences as a doctoral student working at UKHSA. Example of awesome work done by doctoral students! 📽️ : youtube.com/live/MGi6V-Nge…

Amazing week back-to-back conferencing! So happy to see months of hard work come together for the global #MERS meeting in Riyadh 🇸🇦 and then to join #EPIDEMICS9 in Bologna 🇮🇹 Beyond grateful to get to work with so many brilliant scientists who are equally brilliant humans 🙏
