Think in terms of months, not weeks, write medical ethicist Ezekiel Emanuel, Susan Ellenberg, PhD (Biostatistics) and Michael Levy, PhD (Epidemiology) in a New York Times opinion piece. We need to stop picturing that ubiquitous “flatten the curve” chart and start imagining a roller coaster.

That is why this department has put forward a bold vision in population-health science: a single academic home for biostatistics, epidemiology and informatics.
