"I am afraid this manuscript may contribute not so much towards the field's advancement as much as towards its eventual demise."
The amazing teams around Dav Ebengo & Placide Mbala-Kingebeni, alongside the Institut National de Santé Publique and AfricaCDC have led an effort to improve understanding of the current #Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak.

#NetSci2026 2nd keynote of the day Alessia Melegaro argues the importance of considering complex factors (demographics, social structure, and behaviors) for epidemics modeling

Since we just came out of #netsci2026 it's a good opportunity to find about every network science starter packs out there. Thankfully starterpacks search engines are here to cut down that work.

1. New #Ebola numbers from DRC's National Institute of Public Health:
— 18 new confirmed cases on 6/3; that brings the confirmed case count to 381. Two more deaths puts the death toll among confirmed cases at 64. Seven people have been deemed cured (+1).
— 55.5% of case contacts are being followed.
On May 22 WHO reported 1 more #hantavirus case linked to the MV Hondius, while some high-risk contacts are still being located. We estimated that heterogeneous isolation + uncertainty on pre-sympt transmission leave a non-negligible risk of secondary clusters. Work led by @eugeValdano.
Going to #NetSci2026 (@netsciconf.bsky.social)?

As discussions on Ebola and border controls intensify, it is important to go back to what available scientific evidence actually shows.
In @lefigaro.fr, I discuss what we learned from past Ebola epidemics and travel restrictions.

New #SocioPatterns study in PNAS: we studied how social behavior and psychological well-being evolve at Concordia Station in Antarctica during the extreme isolation and confinement of a 10-month overwinter mission. Lessons for deep-space crews.
