Dive into the world of epidemiological data with ICI3D 2-week modelling clinic! Unravel the secrets of infectious disease dynamics using meaningful data analysis. Make a real impact by understanding the patterns that shape public health. 🩺

I've seen bad analysis written in Matlab, Python, and more traditional languages like C/C++/FORTRAN. Scientists are bad at software engineering & lang doesn't fix that. Incentives & training might, but... fulltime programmers also are bad at SE, so maybe not.

Yep - analogous to the dating advice quip: a person that is nice to you, but not to the waiter, is not a nice person.*

We stare into LLM AI - it can be a mirror or an abyss.

*said as a kind-but-not-nice person.
