Infections. Virality. Hello, 2020! We’ve

next Secret Science Club, Adam Kucharski breaks down the science of epidemiology and explores how we can
all get better at predicting & managing outbreaks.
"Doors" to the Zoom Room will open at 1:30pm (Eastern Time USA).
Shhh... everyone on our mailing list will be emailed the Zoom link the night
before. (To join the Secret Science Club mailing list, send us an email.)
In the meantime...

--Prepare
to groove to our infectious playlist
--Bring
your questions for the live Q&A!
