Hi everyone,
I also want to highlight this call for assistance with modelling the COVID-19 pandemic from the UK royal society, aimed at the wider computational scientific modelling community. They basically want to supplement their maxed-out epidemiologists by assembling teams of competent modellers with transferable skills from other scientific fields. It’s open to non-UK experts too, and the deadline for filling out the form is Thursday 02 April at 5pm BST.
The call makes it sound like they are particularly interested in scaling existing techniques to much larger datasets, which sounds like a task for dask experts to me…
I’m also trying to assemble a distributed team of individual researchers from various groups to apply to this together, for those of use who aren’t in a group that can wholly redirect towards this. If you’re interested in being involved with that then please fill out this form!.
Cheers,
Tom
