Navigating Uncertainty in Pandemic Decision-Making

I recently had the pleasure of attending a Pandemic Planning conference at Stanford University. It was really the first of its kind, in that it brought together a wide range of voices on the topic in an academic setting, and it was held under the auspices of the new Stanford President Jonathan Levin.

“I think it’s expanded the range of things that are allowed to be said in polite society, if you will,” says Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor of health policy and the lead organizer of the conference.

“The purpose of the conference was to essentially open the floodgates of these kinds of events taking place everywhere around the world,” he says.
