Title: | The Maths of Contagion: Why Things Spread and Why They Stop |
Speaker: | Adam Kucharski Associate Professor London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine London |
Abstract: |
Why are some diseases predictable, and others swamped in uncertainty? And what about the outbreaks that never happen at all? Adam covers how disease like malaria, Zika, Sars and Covid-19 spread, but also how similar kinds of mathematical models can be used to trace the spread of fake news, and even internet memes.
A talk given at The Royal Institution on 30 June 2020. Video link plus Q&A |
