Pandemic Scenario Modeling and Science Communication Workshop
 

Students and early-career postdocs will participate in a 2.5 day workshop focused on acquiring skills that disease ecologists and epidemiologists will need to respond to the next global pandemic. Specifically, students will learn how to work with disease forecasting models, and model different scenarios for an outbreak of a new pandemic. They will then split into two sub-groups: one focused on the impacts of socio-economics and human land use, and another focused on using human mobility data to understand and inform outbreak response. Concurrently, all participants will learn communication skills in order to better communicate their science with policy makers and the public.
