+
+### Long-Term Outcomes
+
+
+
+## Notes
+
+- New member introductions
+  - Tiem van der Deure
+    - University of Copenhagen PhD
+    - Vector-borne Disease Modeling
+    - Epidemiological modeling and climate effects on health
+    - Rafael Schoueten 
+  - Scott Jones
+    - Heavily involved in healthcare IT 
+  - dx/dt
+
+- Google Summer of Code
+  - Didn't know it existed
+  - Google Season of Docs is great too
+    - Best for long-term maintenance
+    - In the Julia docs ecosystem is kinda a mess
+
+- OHDSI + Julia
+  - How difficult it has been to work with EHR from EPIC
+    - Still a bit manual but getting better
+  - Turing modeling "making them work"
+    - Getting them to run
+      - Making it run fast enough
+      - Much easier to use but not as fast as otherwise
+    - Extremely mathy very fast
+
+- Sewage water information for disease population estimations
+  - Weekly excerpt 
+  - Infectious disease doctor
+    - Would be really neat to make some kind of app
+    - To check wastewater 
+      - Propensity of viruses in ER
+  - Physician testing for rough understanding of what is happening in community
+    - You don't just need to look for one disease, but rather multiple co-factors
+  - Many healthcare systems put together monitoring systems
+    - NHS (in UK) dismantled their monitoring systems
