Amazing opening evening to #VEME2024 in Brasilia at OPAS OMS - PAHO WHO Brazil. Thanks LUIZ ALCANTARA Marta Giovanetti Tulio de Oliveira for organizing such an inspiring introduction to the the 28th edition of the VEME workshop 🤩

Congratulations to the first graduates from the AI for Science Master’s program at AIMS South Africa 🎓 Last year, we partnered with AIMS to provide full scholarships, equipment and compute to students, giving them access to advanced studies in mathematics, AI and machine learning . 📚

Amazing!! In collaboration with AIMS South Africa, Five of these AI Pioneers did their research with us and were supervised by our team. Houriiyah Tegally, PhD 🇲🇺, Gaspary , Tulio de Oliveira #AIforhealth #CLIMADE

Attending the VEME 2024 workshop in Brasília (veme.climade.health) has been an incredible experience! From diving deep into virus evolution & molecular epidemiology to networking, the insights gained are invaluable. Excited to apply new knowledge in bioinformatics & public

Very happy to be in Brasília 🇧🇷 attending the 28th Viral Evolution and Molecular Epidemiology (VEME) workshop! I'm having so many aha moments in the evolutionary hypothesis testing module learning about Bayesian inference #VEME2024 #VirusEvolution #FiocruzBrasilia #CLIMADE

Fascinating Keynote from Carla Nartuhi Mavian at #VEME2024 on the use of genomic epi methods to investigate Cholera environmental reservoirs, serotype switching and emergence in Haiti.

Onto the next Keynote. Marta Giovanetti telling us about absolutely timely work to characterise Oropouche virus transmission dynamics beyond the Amazon Basin. This is public health response in real-time. #VEME2024

I've realized Bayesian Inference is nicely summed up by Vice President Kamala Harris 's coconut tree quote: your data exists in the context of all that came before it 🌴

We are always very serious about the group photo competition at #VEME. So, this year we brought #VEME2024 message to Rio de Janeiro with a view of the Christ the Redeemer! ✨Houriiyah Tegally, PhD 🇲🇺 eddiesouthside 🇿🇦 Jenicca Centre for Epidemic Response & Innovation (CERI) Fiocruz

Our new half day module at #VEME2024 teaching the basics of geospatial data analysis, eco-epidemiological modelling and phylogeography with environmental investigation to uncover the links between climate change and infectious diseases.

The complex and intricate relationship between climate change, human migration, and infectious disease transmission presents an urgent global challenge 🌍 An expert comment from Prathyush Sambaturu and Houriiyah Tegally, PhD 🇲🇺 👇 bit.ly/4fDWjLv

Comment on our perspective NatureClimate. with Joseph Tsui Rosario Evans Pena Monika Moir, PhD et al.

"The parachute index is the ratio of papers with local authors to papers without them, set to a logarithmic scale" Parachute science is not just a problem in global health, it is an issue even in paleontology! science.org/content/articl…

A study has found low and middle-income countries in Africa and Asia, that have made the least contribution to the global emission of greenhouse gasses, continue to experience the greatest burden from infectious diseases and the highest vulnerability towards climate change.

In this feature, Oxford Biology's Dr Prathyush Sambaturu argues the complex and intricate relationship between climate change, human migration, and infectious disease transmission presents an urgent global challenge ⬇️ ox.ac.uk/news/2024-08-1…

21 locally transmitted dengue cases so far in France in 2024: santepubliquefrance.fr/maladies-et-tr…

Population at risk of #dengue increased over 40y due to coupled #climate & pop growth factors. Global South: increases due to pop growth in areas w/ historically high suitability. Global North: increases in suitability in areas w/ limited pop growth. nature.com/articles/s4324…

#Mauritius: Yovanni Philippe makes history as he wins bronze in Men's 400m T20!! That's the first ever paralympic medal for Mauritius! Woooow, we're so proud!!! 🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺#Paralympics2024 #ParaAthletics

Femicide doesn’t start and end with the eventual act. It starts from the jokes, the rhetorics, the repulse, the unreasonable takes that stem from deep patriarchal conditioning and other forms of dangers that are easily negligible and casually neglected.

Great article explaining some of our current research interests! telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…
