We don’t need to sample everywhere to establish if the MDA of ivermectin is safe in Loa loa-Onchocerciasis co-endemic areas.

In this week's UCL Statistical Sci Seminar (Thursday 3rd March 14:00-15:00), Dr. Olatunji Johnson Olatunji Johnson (University of Manchester Department of Mathematics) will talk about "A geostatistical method for analysing data from multiple Loa loa diagnostic tools" Further info / how to join: ucl.ac.uk/statistics/sem…

My first talk this year! I really enjoyed it. Thanks for inviting me.

The single most common question I get: "Why should I care about studying mathematics?" Here are the three ways mathematics can seriously enhance your life.

#Spatial variation & inequities in ANC4 coverage in Kenya, Uganda & Tanzania using model-based #geostatistics: socioeconomic & #spatial accessibility lens. See our Research Square preprint Coverage lower among poor, uneducated & those far from healthcare doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.…

Hot take: all your logistic regressions should be bias-corrected (i.e., Firth). In #Rstats, this is as simple as adding method = brglm2::brglmFit in your call to glm(). Nothing else needs to change.

Glad to share our new paper where we use model-based geostatistics to assess the antenatal care coverage in three countries in SSA.

I will be giving a talk at this event. Come join us and learn about the modelling approaches to tackle Neglected Tropical Diseases. See you all there! #NTD

One year post-doc with Olatunji Johnson, Alison Fairbrass and myself. Based in Manchester. Bit of causal inference, bit of shiny, bit of climate change, bit of epi. Feel free to email for a chat. jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?…

Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to work with me, Tim Lucas and Alison Fairbrass . Tomorrow is the deadline to apply for this position. #ResearchAssociate #Statistics #Epidemiology #climatechange jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?…

2 year postdoc at Biostatistics: Uni of Leicester w/ me. Developing spatial mapping methods to be more predictive. Applications in Lassa fever and other zoonotic/vector-borne diseases. Happy to chat, but I'm more likely to see if you email than dm. #RStats #malaria jobs.le.ac.uk/vacancies/7685…

Tomorrow is the deadline to register for this training school. I’ll be teaching a special course on computational methods for random effects models.

Had an amazing week teaching at AIMS! The students were fantastic - engaged, curious, and asked some really thoughtful questions. Feeling grateful for the opportunity to give back to my continent. #AIMS #teaching #fulfillment 🌍📚

New paper out! A joint work with Dr. Caroline Bulstra Claudio Fronterre @luc_coffeng Olatunji Johnson Sake J de Vlas and Peter J Diggle.
