This site will not be further updated. It will remain here for reference. We are only keeping the logistic parts here. The content has been moved (and continues to be updated) at our permanent, stand-alone site/course Simulation Modeling in Immunology.
Welcome to the website for the course/module called Infectious Diseases, Immunology and Within-Host Models, which is part of the 2020 Summer Institute in Statistics and Modeling in Infectious Diseases (SISMID). The course is taught by Andreas Handel and Paul Thomas.
We hope this is not too confusing, but we call every unit in our course a Module. So this course is a SISMID module, but in our terminology, we call this whole “thing” the course or class, and use module for individual segments, which are further divided into units.
By default, all links open in the current tab. You’ll likely want
external ones to open in a separate tab or window. To do so, you can
(with most browsers) hold the Ctrl button when clicking, or
do a right-click and select open in new tab/window.
The General Information section provides a Syllabus and a Schedule.
The majority of the content is listed under the Modules heading. Each module has several units in a drop-down/pop-out menu. Go through them in the listed order.
You have the opportunity to do an optional project. Instructions and detailed information for this are given in the Project section.
The Communication section provides information on how course communications are planned to happen.
The Resources section contains a listing of external materials. The Course Resources page lists materials used in this course. The General Resources page lists additional materials that are relevant to the course topic and might be of interest.
The Glossary section provides a (work in progress) glossary with definitions of technical terms.
Start by looking over the Syllabus and Schedule documents, then Communication and Resources. After that, start with the Module 1 content in the given order.
We welcome contributions in the form of feedback, suggestion

the GitHub specific instructions here.
You can ignore the part that talks about the tidyverse. You
might also want to check out this
brief GitHub introduction).
