There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Researchers can’t directly observe many key features of disease transmission. As a result, they rely on statistical models to translate what they can see to what they want to know. But they’re finding that for Covid-19 in particular, some of these methods have been giving them the wrong answers. This fascinating look details how some epidemiologists and other scientists had to dig deeper into modeling the strength and speed of Covid-19, and one of those researchers includes Joshua Weitz, School of Biological Sciences professor and Director of the Interdisciplinary PhD in Quantitative Biosciences program at Georgia Tech.
