Writing in the Discipline
An in-depth exploration of the latest scientific research into the spread and management of infectious diseases. Emphasis is on applying quantitative reasoning to address pressing public health issues. Topics include forecasting pathogen spillover from animal populations, risk assessments linking climate change and disease outbreaks, reconstructing historical epidemics, optimal control of antimicrobial resistance and molecular epidemiology. Class format combines lecture and student-led discussions of the primary literature. Lab involves student projects using computer simulations to predict the ability of a public health intervention (mass vaccination, quarantine, etc...) to reduce disease burden.
