Dean's Workshop

Yale’s Modeling and Quantitative Science Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Thursday, May 21, 2020

We are hosting a series of virtual Dean’s Workshops to enhance communication, share data, and work collaboratively as a global community to focus our responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. For this workshop, we concentrate on modeling and quantitative science to illuminate trends, the evaluate the effectiveness of interventions, and guide decisions for responses to the pandemic. Faculty from the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Engineering and Applied Science, Management, Public Health, and Yale Institute for Global Health will highlight efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic. All of us have much to contribute and we can employ our existing strengths and the creativity of our community in this new situation to address the current pandemic and strengthen our connections and shared endeavors going forward.
