MAPPS: Social Networks, Spatial Networks, and Pathogen Spread


Listen Later

How do we avoid total societal shutdown during a pandemic? Professor Mark Lurie believes the key lies in understanding how social mixing and human mobility impact pathogen spread.

Using Brown's School of Public Health building as a sandbox, his newest NSF-funded project, MAPPS (Mobility Analysis for Pandemic Prevention Strategies) uses the bluetooth beacons to better understand mobility and person-to-person proximity to predict disease exposure.
