The COVID-19 pandemic is not the first nor the last pandemic. Laura will tell how she ended up being a biostatistician. She'll update us on the pandemic and put it in the context of infectious disease generally and tell us what to expect in coming years.
In this talk, Laura will tell us of her career path as a biostatistician, including knowing nothing about biostatistics or what a PhD is to managing to get a PhD in biostatistics. She will talk about the current state of the pandemic and state of scientific progress in combating COVID-19. She'll review the history of infectious diseases and exciting progress we have made in decreasing the burden of infectious diseases in society. In spite this progress, and even before the current pandemic, infectious diseases remain a significant challenge. The pandemic has only made this more apparent.
