  <title><![CDATA[INFORMS “Analytics for Infectious Disease Control" webinar featuring Pinar Keskinocak and Julie Swann]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p><strong>OVERVIEW</strong><br />
There has been a lot of progress in medicine and science in understanding and preventing infectious diseases over time; however, these diseases still threaten human health. A variety of prevention or intervention measures may be available, and it is important to understand which combination of these measures would be most impactful, when and where, particularly under resource limitations. In this presentation we will provide examples on how operations research and analytics methods can be used in supporting public health interventions for infectious diseases.</p>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
