Part 1: Monday, January 11, 8:40 am - 1:00 pm
Part 2: Tuesday, January 19, 8:40 am - 1:00 pm
We will deliver this symposium using Zoom. Registration means you can attend both days (Zoom link will remain the same).
In this symposium, we will engage the broader Johns Hopkins community in a meaningful conversation on various aspects of disparities arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Join us for an interactive discussion on how data science approaches and methods contribute to better understand, address, and mitigate the disparate impact of COVID-19.
The event will involve data science teams working on various aspects of the COVID-19 disparity problem. Scheduling the event over two days, separated by a week, will give these teams a chance to present their approach during the first day, continue their work over the course of a week, and report their preliminary results during the second day of the event.
The two-day event (Jan. 11 and Jan. 19) will feature four keynotes, short talks by COVID-19 thought leaders, team lightning talks, and a hackathon. Full program available at: https://malonecenter.jhu.edu/symposium-2020
