Summary

This feels like one of the most important podcasts I have ever done. Nina Fefferman has spent a career working on mathematical models of pandemics. I cannot express how reassuring it is to have a mind like this working to help us all. Nina's ability to communicate such complex topics in a way that a child could understand makes this a MUST LISTEN episode. Please share this information with anyone that you can!
