Idyllic rural NSW is a hotspot for motor neurone disease
"Our recent mortality paper shows that if you live in rural and regional Australia, you are 40 per cent more likely to die from motor neurone disease. This cannot be genetic."
"Much attention will be focused on MND hotspots which include regional centres such as Griffith, Leeton, Wagga Wagga and Narrandera in the Riverina where rates of the degenerative illness are estimated to be five to seven times the national average. Other areas of concern include Tamworth, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie." >>

Editorial handover at Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric #Epidemiology. Outgoing Craig Morgan's editorial about "Time for Change"
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00127-026-03166-5"[...] scientific journals are the products, and therefore the intellectual property, of scientific communities."
"There are many calls for the concept of statistical significance to be retired. I regret not implementing this in SPPE."
All the best to Uli Reininghaus and the new team!

Researchers evaluated two experimental Zika virus vaccines to understand the roles of antibodies and T cells, discovering that long-term viral protection requires a coordinated immune response from both components rather than relying on T cells alone.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🧠🥩 A new #math model explains why #cannibalism keeps appearing and then disappearing across human #history.
The #model shows that while eating human #meat provides calories, the epidemiological costs of disease transmission quickly outweigh any benefits and lead to #community collapse.

Advocate & vote for better conditions for working, parenting & disability.
Join or start a union at your work. You need no-fault sick leave, esp when local infections break out.
Do managers want:
Only ONE person this week out sick?
Or else a half-dozen in coming weeks?#Hantavirus #Hantaan #Rodent #Rodents #Zoonosis #Zoonoses #Doctor #Doctors #Medicine #Medical #Sick #Sickness #ill #illness #Disease #Diseases #infect #infection #infectious #Virus #Viruses #Viral #Pathogen #Pathogens #Pathogenic #WHO #WorldHealthOrganisation #WorldHealthOrg #Science #Scientific #Experiment #Test #Tests #Testing #Epidemiology #Epidemiological #Public #Health #PublicHealth

Also wear masks or respirators. (Except the snood type ones. The rest are all better than nothing or *way* better than nothing.) Don't travel or commute to work when ill.
Advocate and vote for better conditions when working, parenting, and disabled. Join a union or start one at your workplace. Push for no-fault sick leave, especially when local infectious outbreaks flare up.
Check what air filtration systems are installed where people gather, mainly indoor spaces. Consider public transport, at work, schools, public buildings, and manufacturing. Ask some organisations what their air quality data and upgrade plans are.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZncfH7nKX74

Hi all! For any mathematical biologists who will be at the #JointMathMeetings in Boston, I will be co-chairing a special session on "Mathematical Modeling of Ecology and Evolution: From Infectious Disease to the Evolution of Cooperation", together with Daniel Cooney, Chadi Saad-Roy, and Olivia Chu. Talks will span a wide range of interests--hope to see some of you there!
