I swear #climatologists think less about #climatechange, #epidemiologists think less about #vaccination, and #paleontologists think less about #evolution, than the crowd of screeching #denialists who descend like locusts on any news story even vaguely related to any of these subjects.

The #Epidemiologists Are Running for Office Many #health professionals have shied away from #politics in the past. But as the Trump administration has attacked them, researchers and health-care workers have had a surge of interest in running for office www.theatlantic.com/science/2025...

Dave Volek's Pandemic Simulation

The COVID crisis inspired me to build a pandemic simulation for the public.

#Epidemiologists have their own simulations to predict the future, but they require a professional understanding and lots of computing horsepower.

My simulation is not "accurate." But it is easier to run and shows the cycles of a pandemic.

Racing to Save #California’s #ElephantSeals From #BirdFlu
In 2023, bird #flu arrived on the rocky shores of the Valdés Peninsula in Argentina, ripping through the local colony of southern elephant seals. More than 17,000 seal pups died. It could take decades for the population to recover.
Now, a team of #ecologists, #epidemiologists and #veterinarians is scrambling to keep the same thing from happening to northern elephant seals.

Any #epidemiologists or medical peeps want to comment on the off chance I contracted #covid at the hospital where I had my surgery. Had symptoms 14 days later, tested negative, 3 days later tested positive. Confirmed it on 2 rat tests. Other than is that timeline feasible, would it still be beneficial to take antivirals at this point?

Well here we go again. Another #Zombie idea #Xenophobes need to corral the intellectually impaired is resurrected yet again but alas :
#COVID19 DID NOT emerge from a lab. #Coronavirus constitutes a very large family tree extant in nature for a long time. We will likely be seeing the flares for a very long time and the conspiracy nonsense will likely be resurrected again and again…cause you shouldn’t trust #Epidemiologists, #Virologists, #Immunologists’ #InfectiousDisease specialists etc

Okay #mastodon - this one is pretty niche. I am hoping to learn more about #prion diseases for book research. My science background is armchair scientist, so ideally something for dummies. Less interested in mad cow etc and more in how these things work and spread and what we're learning about how the invasive agent causes the proteins to misfold.

Any ideas? #biologists or #epidemiologists out there that feel like pointing me in the right direction? #science #fiction

#ContactTracing software could accurately gauge #COVID19 risk
#Epidemiologists in the# UK analyzed 7 million people who were notified that they were exposed to #COVID-19 by the NHS COVID-19 app in #England and #Wales between April 2021 and February 2022. Researchers found the app did, in fact, accurately translate the duration and proximity of a COVID-19 exposure to a relevant epidemiological risk score. Time spent with infected individuals is a key determinant of risk. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/12/contact-tracing-software-could-accurately-gauge-covid-19-risk/
