Sat Sri Akal, Señor Bhagat Singh Thind. Continuing with posts summarizing talks that are not associated with published work, let me describe what I said to the Asian Coalition of Professionals (in a joint colloquium with the math department) at SUNY Albany in October.

The Pandemic Bandwagon

A Wuhan-shake to you señor. Hope you’re doing alright with the shelter-in-place order for Santa Clara County and California. We’re on pause here in New York. Yesterday morning, I was all psyched up to do a blog post and accompanying twitter thread on 12 Data Science Problems in Mitigating and Managing Pandemics Like COVID-19 that [ ]
