Choose to focus on the open doors.
It's depressing to ruminate about the doors that closed yesterday. It's liberating to look for the doors that are open today.
You can't change who you've been. It's never too late to choose who you want to become.
Identity is a decision, not a destiny.

Our digital epidemiologist @Rufaro_Samanga explores how we can leverage the power and capabilities of machine learning to level up aspects of traditional modelling that don’t work as well as we might like.

Which patients are able and willing to purchase private sector HIV treatment services? Follow our findings in our new project with @DataFIproject and @PalladiumImpact - harnessing innovative #DataScience approaches to sustain #HIV epidemic control. linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…
If only @FlySafair had some way to know how many paying customers were going to show up on a given day 🤔 Then they could properly staff the check-in counters.
Nah, let's just have one counter and let passengers queue for 90 mins

This should be good. And hopefully a little radical! Check it out today at 15:45 SAT.
Check out @ksharpey as we kick off the #GlobalDigitalDevelopmentSummit today.
Novel Data, Ethics, Practical Applications: Discussion on the hard questions of balancing opportunity, risk, and expected benefit when using sensitive data for public good.
Very cool. Already print these to good use down in South Africa!
When ppl say, "you can't just DO that."
I, well, just do that.
When I launched @illustrationblk folks legit said PEOPLE DON'T NEED THIS, this isn't a product people want.
70,000 downloads and 40,000 email subscribers later and we're still here. Peep blackillustrations.com

Palindrome's @ksharpey will be joining the speakers at the @Data4SDGs and @WorldBank consultation on Data for Better Lives
If you're able to join us tomorrow, we'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas, questions, comments on the 2021 World Development Report. Everybody welcome, details here: bit.ly/3d5XyCu
How a talented young man found their calling and went from "science for curiosity" to #data4good . Really enjoyed having #datascientists and visualization wizard Amir Emami as @PalindromeData's first intern!
It was a real privilege having such a brilliant, energetic mind as our first "summer" intern at Palindrome Data! We're looking forward to following all the amazing things Amir Emami will undoubtedly achieve in the just the next few years #AmplifyingImpact

Great session on ML in #globalhealth at #GDHF2019. Clear opportunity for impact, but need more collaboration across #AI and #publichealth communities of practice to identify appropriate use cases

Thirty years on, I remember the hope we all felt watching Mandela’s release from prison. The gift of a new way of seeing. The chance to participate in the work of building a better world. The ultimate example of perseverance and faith for each new generation to follow.
Our #machinelearning model was able to effectively separate high-risk from low-risk patients using a combination of clinical, laboratory and behavioral (visit patterns) data.
#PredictiveAnalytics #AmplifyingImpact
@PalindromeData has teamed up with @HE2RO_SA and @righttocaresa to use #machinelearning to predict suppression of next #HIV viral load in South Africa.

The partnership between @PalindromeData and the @NationalInstituteofCommunicableDiseases aims to investigate and model the risk factors by transmission route that will allow us to identify high-risk NEGATIVE babies BEFORE they become positive.
Catch @ksharpey in DC discussing our work on how ‘big lab data’ is helping to determine HIV Vertical Transmission routes of exposed infants.

I constantly find myself asking this of doctors, insurers, retailers, etc. Worst part is that very few of them actually know, or have a straight answer...

I wrote this to share my frustration with global developments inability to leverage cutting edge technology. It feels harsh, but it was crazy cathartic 😮 lnkd.in/eD-j8QX
