This is the one event we had been working on for the past few weeks. Taking place from June 25 – 28.

Ever since the H1N1 virus made its appearance in April, researchers at ASU have been looking at what this might tell us about virus propagation, mitigation and using scientific and economic data to make better decisions.

This workshop will focus on:

• How can we apply what have we learned from previous epidemics to help slow the spread of this virus?
• How useful has past knowledge been in dealing with current outbreaks?
• What is our current state of preparedness?
• Do we have enough vaccines and antiviral drugs to treat every person that needs it in the USA? What about other countries?

Topics include the emergence of a super-strain of influenza, trans border risk assessment, how modeling informs policy-making in real time, the impact of school closures, simulation-based public health exercises … and much, much more.
