I'm looking for a PhD student to join my lab at UAlbany for Fall 2026!
We are data scientists studying the creation, flow, and impact of information. How do scientists collaborate? How does AI shape information access? What drives local innovation?
Want to answer these questions? details below!
Latest out: Social inequalities in vaccine coverage and their effects on epidemic spreading. Great collaboration with Adriana Manna and @martonkarsai.bsky.social journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol...
Organized by @gstonge.bsky.social @ngozzi.bsky.social and Alessandra Urbinati
We are currently accepting submissions for lightning talks to showcase the wide variety of tools and visualizations people have created. All formats are welcome (dashboards, animations, graphics, story-driven websites, etc.). See the website for more info!
We're organizing a special session called "The Art of Epidemics" at #Epidemics10! The session focuses on how thoughtfully designed visualizations and communication tools can make complex epidemiological data more impactful. artofepidemics.wixsite.com/epidemics10
