Dave Ewing
Applied mathematical modeller at Biomathematics and Statistics Scotland working on a variety of parasites (mainly gastrointestinal nematodes), vectors (mainly mosquitoes) and sometimes I dabble in Bayesian inference (currently avian influenza in seabirds).
- Nipped downstairs for a coffee and a short break. My 2 year old took one look at me and shouted, "Go back to work!".
- A nice thread highlighting key findings from our new paper estimating parameters of #HPAI in subsequent outbreaks in common terns. We developed a Bayesian inference approach to infer parameters from just carcass counts. #seabirds #statisticalecology #diseaseecology doi.org/10.1111/1365...
- Out @animalecology.bsky.social today - a paper with David Ewing in which we explore the #HPAI outbreak in the terns. We find bird-to-bird transmission to be the main driver of infection and estimate the probability of mortality to drop from 0.26 to 0.14 from 2022 to 2023: doi.org/10.1111/1365...
- Back at work today after 3 months on parental leave. Eugh, what do I even do again?

- New @bioss.bsky.social paper! A farm systems-level math model to predict the efficacy & consequences of sustainable worm control in sheep. Thanks to coauthors from @livuni-ives.bsky.social @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social @moredunfoundation.bsky.social @srucnews.bsky.social. shorturl.at/II3zA

- I'm going to be on BBC Scotland lunchtime live and the 7 oclock news talking about vector-borne disease risk in Scotland. Fingers crossed all goes well. Going to require a serious caffeine hit after a few relatively sleepless nights since baby #2 arrived on Sunday!
- I wish my brain worked in vectors rather than loops #Rstats

- 🚩PhD opportunity furthering sustainable control of gastrointestinal nematodes and anthelmintic resistance in sheep flocks through mathematical modelling with me at @bioss.bsky.social alongside Fi Kenyon, @adhayward.bsky.social (Moredun) and Rob Kelly (Edinburgh Uni). Please share! #parasitology
- Really enjoyed discussing data needs and availability for tackling #vectorbornedisease at the UK VBD Hub meeting today. Learn more about the project at vbdhub.org #vbd
- Great to see Christina Cobbold talking about the role of individuals and their traits in determining the impacts of environmental change.
- I like this. Reckon I'm guilty of too many what comments rather than why comments.

- This looks like a super interesting project!
