Starting a new project developing a hierarchical deterministic spatial model for a zoonotic disease combining human incidence, zoonotic risk factors, and an ecological model of the zoonotic lifecycle for modeling targeted interventions.

It is a fun side project in my free time that will rely on open source data and collaboration with disease experts. Eventually, the model will provide a platform for public health officials, general public, and researchers with the data being visualized in a multi-platform application. More information to come.
