On Friday April 23, Fields invited Dr. Peter Jüni and Dr. Samira Mubareka for a discussion on the latest modelling from the Ontario Science Advisory Table. In the course of the discussion, they shared what they've learned about mutations and variants of concern, why we can't vaccinate ourselves out of this pandemic, and perhaps top of mind for many Canadians, whether they think we'll get to have a summer this year. Below are some of the highlights of our conversation.
Behind the Numbers is our new video concept that takes you behind the mathematics in some of the everyday calculations that impact our lives.
Over the past year, the impacts of COVID-19 have destabilized far more than public health. From the economic strain of lockdown, to global mental health struggles and the inequitable deficits in children’s education, many nations won’t be able to fully assess the fallout until we’ve gotten a handle on the virus.
April 9, 2021 – The Fields Institute, in partnership with the Atlantic Association for Research in Mathematical Sciences (AARMS), the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques (CRM), and the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences (PIMS), is pleased to announce the establishment of the Mathematics for Public Health (MfPH) initiative, a pan-Canadian, Emerging Infectious Disease Modelling (EIDM) network that aims to apply advanced mathematical techniques to help achieve public health objectives.
