Berkeley's Computing and Data Science In Action
Join us this Tuesday, April 7 for Creating Informed Responses: Berkeley's Computing and Data Science In Action, a conversation with UC Berkeley researchers leveraging computing and data science to blunt the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and support a robust recovery.
This video event will feature Berkeley experts who are at the center of these critical efforts, which include:
-
Developing tools to enable local health departments to predict hospital ICU needs and plan interventions.
-
Finding better and faster ways to get critical supplies to healthcare workers and citizens.
-
Predicting and addressing impacts on employment and elections.
The event, which is part of Berkeley Conversations: COVID-19, will be the first in a series of conversations offering an early look at what researchers are investigating and discovering as they mobilize computing and data science to take on the COVID-19 challenge.
