👋 Hi y’all, I wanted to announce that I’m hoping to recruit PhD students (for Fall 2023) and a post-doc (anytime). Please DM/email me if you’re at all interested. The projects will be flexible as long as they relate to infectious disease modeling and/or forecasting.

Yes, it's really happening
Gonna start a conference called #NormIPS that’s just presentations of middlebrow ML topics. “how to structure Python packages 2022”, “how many k-folds is too many”, “how to make the browser pop-up come up when the notebook is done running”, “putting features in Postgres”, etc.
