Very excited to share recent 📹 of our @LIGHTonTB work @MLW_Programme in 🇲🇼. (Genius outtake! 😆idea credit to @JHG_LFC). Overall question: how much #TB can be ⬇️ at popn level by targeting men w/ community-based #TB active case finding strategies in 🇲🇼?. What are we doing? 🧵.

What a week! One word to summarise the 7th Global Forum on TB Vaccines: #Optimism. The prospect of imminent adolescent & adult TB vaccines gives the global TB community hope for a future without #TB. Sentiments also shared by Sir Jeremy Farrar, WHO Chief Scientist. #7GF #EndTB

Special mention to Juliette Unwin. Great to meet 2 years after Malawi visit. Really enjoyed the "Infectious disease modelling using Stan" tutorial. Very clearly presented. Super cool to see how it all connects 🔃. Special shout to Charles Margossian & all #StanCon organisers. 3/3.

Richard gave the "Intro to Probabilistic Programming in Stan" tutorial at #StanCon. Nothing less. Jokes & memes as always. Complex material, clearly delivered for newbies to relate to. Spoke to him about my code. Bunch of others also let him know they're fans of his material. 2/3.

Okay, not to name drop but meeting Richard McElreath after reading his book & watching Youtube vidoes for past 2 years was wild. Statistical Rethinking was first Bayesian stats book I read. Also first intro to probabilistic programming. Transformed my view of statistics. 1/3

2/3) medium-term: lots of analyses ahah moments!. 3/3) long-term: I guess depends how much work I put in going forward 🤔 (not looking back 💪🏾). Thank you #StanCon2024 team & sponsors for scholarship. Great to hear about cool work & developments in the community!

Stan Conference 2024 #StanCon2024 was unreal! Real people, great community!. Okay, tbh threw myself ↘️ deep end but paid off. 1) short-term: spoke to Stan devt team & awesome Bayesian stats teachers (Bob Carpenter, Richard McElreath, Aki Vehtari & +) ⬆️ motivation to learn. 2) ⤵️.
