I, and a group of colleagues, have been running a training program in quantitative microbial risk assessment (#QMRA) for some years. In 2024, we are doing a “train the trainer” version. For info, and to apply, go to: https://events.anr.msu.edu/event.cfm?eventID=08011DA7182D89CE0DEA0BA06CA6F16D1ECBB7628D3137E6EF12A261DD479F2B

#RiskAnalysis

Independent action hypothesis (IAH), dose response, and ID50 thread 🧵

IAH = idea that each single virion has chance to infect

Dose response curves. Related to the ID50, or infectious dose to make 50% of organisms sick. Measuring how much of a pathogen is needed to cause %age of infection.

A thread about stuff the talking heads don't want you to know.*

(*In fairness they probably don't understand it.)
