While I try to find time to write a PhD update blog post, here's a Cool Graph I plotted recently for my rainfall radar model.
One of the things I have been asked to do in my PhD corrections is to assess the model's stability. To this end, I trained a series of models at different learning rates, and this is the result.
Now I just need to figure out why the output prediction looks like it has a case of chickenpox.....

Interesting #PhDthesis investigating the inclusion of #LMIC stakeholders in core outcome set development, pointing to continued lack of involvement, strategies, and missed opportunities to enhance COS utility

!["And cognizant that when there is multimorbidity, the outcomes prioritized tend to be life-impact outcomes, as described by Vidyasagaran et al in their work on COS for prevention and treatment of multimorbidity in adults in LMICs (68) and these outcomes tend to be less granular in their definition (101)."

"A previously developed COS for multimorbidity (COSmm) with inputs from a systematic review of studies and an expert panel, both solely from HICs, also included ‘Health-related quality of life’ among their highest scoring outcomes. [...] This similarity between COSmm and our results suggests that the outcome ‘quality of life’ may be relevant to multiple stakeholders and well-suited across diverse contexts to capture the impacts of living with multimorbidity. [...] The inclusion of adherence to treatment’ and ‘healthcare costs’ is further similarity between COSmm and our treatment COS. However, while costs are only presented as a broad health systems outcome in COSmm, we specify its scope as covering out-of-pocket treatment costs to people living with multimorbidity, given that this can be an important source of catastrophic health expenditures and impoverishment in many LMICs."

HUGE milestone reached today! This is the first ever #PhDThesis from our #ecoevo #modelling team. And it is such a fascinating story, full of new insights into the forces that (de-)stabilise (ecological) interaction #networks! Congratulations Franzi!!! What a crazy ride this has been… 
Today in Bibi's life:
1. mistake: Let's **quickly** simulate what this is going to look like.
Note to self: It's never quick.
2. mistake: Let's assume the planet transits for an entire orbital period. Oh and 10000 exposures so the code is super slow.
Note to self: ... smartass.
