We are pleased to let you know that we are now accepting applications for the 11th Annual Workshop to Increase Diversity in Mathematical Modeling & Public Health! The workshop will be held March 27-28, 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts.
Students can submit an application anytime between now and the deadline of January 15, 2023 at 11:59 PM EST.
This
Workshop is for undergraduates or students in a post baccalaureate
program from underrepresented groups who have an interest in public
health and/or mathematical modeling, and are studying quantitative
disciplines and/or public health at their home institutions. See the workshop website for eligibility criteria.
Over
1.5 days, students will listen to scientific talks from public health
researchers and trainees who use infectious disease epidemiology and
mathematical modeling to solve problems in public health. They will also
engage in professional development and networking opportunities, and
participate in hands-on activities to practice the concepts and skills
they are learning.
Students must apply and be accepted to the workshop to participate. Accepted students receive free admission to the workshop. Students can get travel scholarships that help pay for transportation to Boston, including the cost of their flights, train or bus fare. More details will be provided to accepted students.
Feel free to share this opportunity with interested eligible students.
Best Wishes,
Workshop Organizers
Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health & the MIDAS Coordination Center at the University of Pittsburgh

INBRE Undergraduate student, Terezie Cernosek, published her first scientific paper titled, “Volatile Organic Compound Profiling from Postmortem Microbes using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry,” under the mentorship of Dr. Katelynn Perrault, Assistant Professor of Forensic Sciences and Chemistry at Chaminade University of Honolulu. Ms. Cernosek was a participant in the INBRE SRE program of Spring 2018 and was one of four Top Poster scores at the 2019 Biomedical Sciences & Health Disparities Symposium, Undergraduate Division. As a top poster score, INBRE sponsored her trip to the NIH IDeA Western Regional Conference in Las Vegas, NV, on October 6-9, 2019, where she was able to present her poster amongst her peers who reside in other IDeA states.
