4. COVID-19 Mobility Networks and Post-Publication Scientific Communication with Serina Chang

We discuss the paper "Mobility network models of COVID-19 explain inequities and inform reopening" with first author and Stanford computer science PhD student Serina Chang. This paper's team of interdisciplinary authors include other computer scientists (Emma Pierson, Pang Wei Koh, and Jure Leskovec), sociologists (Beth Redbird and David Grusky), and an epidemiologist (Jaline Gerardin). Serina shared with us challenges in navigating post-publication scientific communication and translating scientific research into real-world policy tools, as well as the success of grounding research questions in supporting the needs of real people.
