New paper out! A joint work with @CBulstra @ClaudioFronterr @luc_coffeng @teejay21111 Sake J de Vlas and Peter J Diggle.
1 Billion people worldwide have soil-transmitted helminths (STHs). Integrating geo-statistical methods + transmission models to improve monitoring of control programmes. @maxeyre3 & @Cbulstra insights for more efficient preventive strategies #BeatNTDs

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 🌍📚
Computational Methods for #RandomEffect Models, by Johnson Olatunji, covered Laplace approximation, #MonteCarlo Maximum Likelihood & MCMC #algorithms for Bayesian inference, applied to spatial data. This was an opportunity to explore real-life #spatial disease data.

Tomorrow is the deadline to register for this training school. I’ll be teaching a special course on computational methods for random effects models.
Apply for our doctoral #trainingschool "Foundational Methods in Data Science" from March 10 to April 6, 2024, in Kigali.

Still buzzing from the mind-blowing talks at the RSS conference's Recent Advances in Spatial and Spatiotemporal Modeling session! A huge shoutout to our phenomenal speakers @FinnLindgren, @eliaskrainski, and @flaxter for their enlightening insights. #RSS2023Conf #Spatial
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
Register now for our upcoming event at 2pm on Wednesday 8th Feb: Modelling approaches to tackle Neglected Tropical Diseases! Registration link: rss.org.uk/training-events/e…
Glad to share our new paper where we use model-based geostatistics to assess the antenatal care coverage in three countries in SSA.
#Spatial variation & inequities in ANC4+ coverage: Kenya, Uganda & Tanzania. Our new paper in @BioMedCentral
Overall, coverage lower among the poor, uneducated & those #geographically marginalized from healthcare.
Useful for appropriation of resources

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.

#Spatial variation & inequities in ANC4 coverage in Kenya, Uganda & Tanzania using model-based #geostatistics: socioeconomic & #spatial accessibility lens. See our @researchsquare preprint
Coverage lower among poor, uneducated & those far from healthcare

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.
