Really enjoyed this thought-provoking workshop this week at @cmmid-lshtm.bsky.social @lshtm.bsky.social on evaluation & responsibility in infectious disease modelling. Brilliantly organised and led by @kathsherratt.bsky.social, with Erica Thompson. Great discussions on both practice and training.

A few years ago we ran a workshop for members of the modelling community to reflect on how modelling support for outbreaks could be improved from a staffing perspective.
Now @kathsherratt.bsky.social has led a follow up looking at what, if anything has changed....
