Welcome to Epidemics3, the international conference dedicated to the study of epidemic diseases and the dynamics of infection.
We gave all poster presenters the opportunity to pitch their poster on camera at Epidemics3, to make sure that their important work is visible after the Epidemics3 conference in November 2011.
Take a few minutes to view the presentations online:

On behalf of the Epidemics3 Scientific Chairs, Committee and Organisers, we would like to thank you for making the Epidemics3 conference such a great success. The scientific quality of the plenary and contributed presentations, both oral and poster, was exceptional. Judging by the intense discussions and interactions, it was clear that everyone who attended Epidemics3 greatly enjoyed the opportunity to discuss research and ideas within a broad community of experts in infectious disease dynamics.
Aside from the scientific presentations, highlights included World AIDS Day plenaries, Poster Pitches to enable poster presenters to promote their work beyond the conference, and of course the conference dinner looking out over Boston. The Poster Pitch videos are now live on YouTube, so please take a few minutes to catch up on any great posters you may have missed http://www.youtube.com/user/Epidemics3/videos
As you know, the conference series accompanies and supports the journal Epidemics. On the behalf of the editors-in-chief of that journal, Neil Ferguson and Hans Heesterbeek, I would like to take this opportunity to encourage you to submit one of your next papers to the journal, which is dedicated to publishing in the same topics as the Epidemics1,2,3 conferences.
We sincerely hope to see you again in 2013 at Epidemics4 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
