Description

Check out this awesome lecture from Kelly Cowan. The live lecture link is below, if you want to view it with visuals. Enjoy! 

Instructors - with everything else you are handling during this bizarre semester, brushing up on your epidemiology may not be high on your list. But students have been bombarded with a lot of information (good and bad) about how pandemics work, and they will probably be looking to you for answers. I have taught epidemiology to undergraduates for over 20 years, and I put together a little 30-minute lecture that you can pop in to your course, pain-free! In this lecture, with clear slides and narration by me, your students will get information on what epidemiology actually is, how SARS-CoV-2 how screening tests work (including specificity vs. sensitivity), why some people get sick and others don't, herd immunity, contact tracing, vaccine preparation, and more.
