    Impact of COVID-19-related disruptions to measles, meningococcal A, and yellow fever vaccination in 10 countries

    Katy AM Gaythorpe, Kaja Abbas ... Mark Jit
    Routine and campaign vaccination disruption in 2020 may lead to measles outbreaks and yellow fever burden increases in some countries, but is unlikely to greatly increase meningococcal A burden.

    Gendered hiring and attrition on the path to parity for academic faculty

    Nicholas LaBerge, Kenneth Hunter Wapman ... Daniel B Larremore
    Achieving gender parity among U.S. tenured and tenure-track faculty will require changes to hiring, which has substantially greater impacts on faculty gender representation than gendered differences in attrition rates.

    The interpretation of computational model parameters depends on the context

    Maria Katharina Eckstein, Sarah L Master ... Anne GE Collins
    Context factors such as experimental task and model parameterization can significantly impact modeling results, such that across tasks, the same participants show different fitted parameter values, and parameters capture different cognitive processes across tasks.

    Humans perseverate on punishment avoidance goals in multigoal reinforcement learning

    Paul B Sharp, Evan M Russek ... Eran Eldar
    Humans perseverate on previously instructed goals in a novel multigoal reinforcement learning task, and do this to a greater extent for punishment avoidance goals.

    Direct and indirect mortality impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, March 1, 2020 to January 1, 2022

    Wha-Eum Lee, Sang Woo Park ... Cécile Viboud
    The overall mortality consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States are predominantly attributable to the direct impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection but there are substantial indirect effects among children and young adults, and in mortality from accidents, homicides, and overdoses.

    Integrating contact tracing and whole-genome sequencing to track the elimination of dog-mediated rabies: An observational and genomic study

    Kennedy Lushasi, Kirstyn Brunker ... Katie Hampson
    Contact tracing data reveal how a One Health approach underpinned by dog vaccination interrupts rabies transmission in reservoir populations removing the risk to humans, while virus genome data highlight the importance of surveillance and sustained dog vaccination in connected populations.
