CaféNova - evening of March 26, 2020

The CafeNova had its first online meeting on Thursday, March 26, 2020. We were very fortunate to have Sergei Maslov and Alexei Tkachenko as our guest professors. Both Sergei and Alexei are theoretical physicists who are actively working on mathematical models helping to fight covid-19 spread. Sergei explained how simple and transparent mathematical models can help to persuade government officials to take steps needed to slow down the pandemic of covid-19. The presentations by Professors Maslov and Tkachenko have been followed by multiple questions about mathematics, biology and even health advice related to the coronavirus.
