Forecasting the flu (and other things)
Join us for convivial discussion on March 17 at 5:30 p.m. at UnQuarked
Come by for a brief introduction to the subject of disease forecasting and how new social media tools are helping make predictions even more accurate.
Forecasting the flu (and other things)With new outbreaks of illness around the globe (think zika virus and even the common cold), forecasting the potential spread of infection has become even more important. Come by for a brief introduction to the subject of disease forecasting and how new social media tools are helping make predictions even more accurate. The short presentation will be followed by a lively discussion. Our presenter is Nick Generous of the Lab’s Information Systems and Modeling group.
Science on Tap is a convivial opportunity to engage with Lab scientists on their current projects. A brief presentation is followed by lively questions, answers and discussion. The fun takes place on the third Thursday of each month from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the UnQuarked Wine Room at 145 Central Park Plaza in Los Alamos.
The sessions are a joint project between the Bradbury Science Museum and the Los Alamos Creative District.
