Graduate students- come work on modelling and estimation in infectious disease and evolution! We have studentships available for MSc and PhD and an exciting range of projects .

Academics, has anyone ever logged in to "Editorial Manager" without having to reset the password? I wonder if has happened even once, in the whole history of ever.

Here's another one: book recommendations. I described a series I liked, and why. Then I had a conversation with chatGPT about other books, refining its list with "no, not so much like this, more like that" and "right, I *did* like that!". Worked better than goodreads.

OMG Canadian funders: I have filled in the self-identification survey a zillion times. Y'all know my PIN. I'll say if my ethnicity changes, or anything else about my identity. Assume that my age goes up by 1 year per year. If you don't hear, assume no change. Yes?.

Unfortunately it is not good at "give me a song about [friend] in the rhythm of a Christmas carol". Or, gpt-3.5 was not good at that, haven't tried 4.

Ask it to tell the story of [a famous event] but from the point of view of the dog. etc.

Poems: Got a friend who you want to gently bug about something? Ask for a verse in the style of Shakespeare, or the bible, about your friend. For extra amusement, set the verse to an irritating but very catchy little tune. Send it to the friend.

There are a lot of "how to use ChatGPT for productivity" threads. Some are probably written by GPT as part of people's self-promotion strategies. I use it for fun: . Recipes. Ask it to include an unusual ingredient. Black beans in brownies, anyone?.

Looking for a grad school position? Come and join us. Combine modelling, genomic epi, probability/stats and infectious disease research, with kayaking opportunities on the side!.

Everyone -- come and join our group! We're looking for a senior scientist/ researcher/ software developer to support methods in phylogenetics, evolving pathogens, and more!.

Happy to see this fun and exploratory project published, asking: what tree shapes are even out there, in bacterial genomic datasets? ..@daanensen

RT @profhelenward: Seeing a lot of folk tweeting about monkeypox. Some are experts on COVID19 but not all have experience of emerging dise….

Great PhD opportunity here!.

Featuring fantastic music commissioned from our composer in residence @Andr3Machado, including a haunting melody and a poem by Zeynep Hatun, one of the first significant women poets of the Ottoman.

Brief guide to how it works

New genomic epidemiology application: can we estimate serial intervals with the help of pathogen genomes? Congratulations @JEStockdale and all authors.

Warning: a few too many good valentine's days, and 13 years later, you find yourself spending the evening of Feb 14 wrangling science fair data in R and ridding your fridge of the ageing remains of a comparative buttercream exercise.
