Working on a health surveillance project for school, which includes an ongoing data analysis plan for a digital dashboard (written a few weeks ago). Dengue is a nationally notifiable disease, and I don't even know what to say about using surveillance data from the CDC.

Meanwhile, this paper is due tonight, and I have been frustrated trying to figure out what to put on this dashboard. I'd love to have a list of the most recent cases reported by the local health districts, but "the year of 2024" isn't really "recent."
Sigh.
I'm not really asking for ideas right now, since I'll dig about some more in the data to see what I can find. But GAH!!!

It's been a frustrating week for my health informatics project. I have to create a dashboard and write a paper about it. The previous paper was a research question to guide this, and I proposed looking at mosquito counts and dengue infections.

In our family slack, we have a channel called #positivity-and-beauty, and when we come across memes that are encouraging or inspiring, we put them there. It's really nice when one of us is feeling bleh.
We also have a channel called #weird-furry-stuff, which is for cute or funny animal pics. And #pen-pr0n for fountain pen stuff.
All of which to say, I need to be careful when I'm screen-sharing at work. And you're a perfect and beautiful human who kicks ass. Go you!!

I love that the administrative simplification for HIPAA is 115 pages long.
Also: if you work in health and spell HIPAA with two Ps, I am judging you. Same if you are in infosec and include misspelled-HIPAA on your resume. If you're not in health you get a pass, but yeesh people, get that sh-t right!
