Speaker: Dr. Catherine Beauchemin (Ryerson University)                                                                                                            
Title: Virophysics: A physicist's approach to virology                                                                                    
Abstract: In physics, established knowledge is expressed as one or more equations.Even new knowledge can come about from exploring the properties of these equations. In biology, there are very few equations; knowledge is more commonly expressed through qualitative descriptions of observations.Such descriptions have several shortcomings, and I will show examples of how these have impacted the field. I will go over some of my group's progress in developing mathematical and computational models to describe interactions between cells and viruses in vitro, and some of the fun things we've uncovered along the way. And given the times we're in, I will also talk a bit about COVID-19 from a data analysis perspective and now innumeracy is contributing to the confusion and to controversies.
