There is enormous ferment around open-data/access approaches to pandemic emergence & forecasting. @viralemergence viralemergence.org/take-action is hiring! 1/ 
IBM's @WCGrid is building #openpandemics 2/
The @AtlanticCouncil's @ACGeoTech has laid out paths to a digital "immune system" for the planet - which was explored on #sustainwhat here by David Bray & @dchander along with @Katindisivi @ciesin & others: j.mp/sustainwhat061… 3/
And now Andrew Natsios has laid out perhaps the most grounded vision of a pandemic forecasting/response system in @ForeignAffairs, building a #PEWSnet vision on the existing @FEWSNET template. 4/ foreignaffairs.com/articles/unite…
Check out this paper Natsios cites showing how the surveillance end can work (by @BUpublichealth's Elaine Nsoesie et al: "Analysis of hospital traffic and search engine data in Wuhan China indicates early disease activity in the Fall of 2019" dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/42669… 5/
So there's enormous potential to push this sensitive, responsive, open surveillance-to-action pandemic system forward. What I can offer is an @earthinstitute conversation/connection space to propel the work - via #sustainwhat j.mp/sustainwhatlive 6/6
