27 Jun 2024: Search. Curing Thousands of Diseases. One of the great privileges of working in The Parker Library is the opportunity to slowly discover the collections, to spend a few minutes looking at a manuscript whose shelfmark you don’t recognise, to talk to readers working on things you’ve never considered, to share in the excitement of new discoveries, and to learn just a little bit more about an item, bit by bit. One could spend a lifetime getting to know the collection, but even given many such lifetimes, there would still be many items that I will never even begin to understand; for now, they must remain filed away in memory, black holes sitting next to the tiny pinpricks of light that are connected to their neighbors on the shelves. Every year we welcome the students from the Corpus Christi Medicine and English Summer School Program to The Parker Library. During each of these visits we give the participants a tour of our current exhibition and then bring out a few items that we believe may be of particular interests to the students that they are allowed to (gently) explore as we talk about the history of the book. This year, I was delighted to share MS 227, Curing Thousands of Diseases, an eight volume Chinese work that was

3 Jun 2024: Small Data, Big Time—A retrospect of the first weeks of COVID-19. Qingyuan Zhao. [To be read before The Royal Statistical Society at the Society’s 2021 annual conference held inManchester on Wednesday, September 8th, 2021, the President, Professor Sylvia Richardson, in theChair]. Abstract. This article reviews some early investigations and research studies in the first weeks of the coron-avirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic from a statistician’s perspective. These investigations werebased on very small datasets but were momentous in the initial global reactions to the pandemic. Thearticle discusses the initial evidence of high infectiousness of COVID-19 and why that conclusion wasnot reached faster than in reality. Further reanalyses of some published COVID-19 studies show thatthe epidemic growth was dramatically underestimated by compartmental models, and the lack of fitcould have been clearly identified by simple data visualization. Finally, some lessons for statisticiansare discussed.Keywords: Infectious disease modeling; Selection bias; COVID-19; Model diagnostics. 1 Introduction. Starting from a regional disease outbreak in Wuhan, China, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)rapidly grew into a once-in-a-lifetime
