This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.

Talk presented August 12, 2020 to IPAM workshop on mathematical models in understanding COVID. Abstract: COVID testing can play a number of roles in a pandemic response: distinguishing between COVID and other causes for symptomatic patients, clearing individuals for elective medical procedures, surveillance for public health planning, and proactive testing of individuals not suspected to have disease to reduce disease spread and control an epidemic. In this talk, I look the value of proactive testing using two different mathematical modeling approaches: a simple analytic approximation, and a detailed stochastic SEIR model on a multi-level network. Both models illustrate the value of proactive testing as a component of an infection control strategy.]]>

Carl Bergstrom's presentation from Microsoft's Big Scholarly Data workshop held in Redmond 7/10/2015. The presentation makes the argument that the scholarly community is far too dependent on Google Scholar for the vital task of searching the scientific literature. Google scholar uses an unknown algorithm on an unknown corpus and allows neither extension nor community development. Moreover, it may not persist forever. As a step toward a solution, I propose that the scholarly community take charge of its output. Creating an open repository of full text for all of scientific publication faces copyright issues that will be intractable in the short term, but creating an open citation graph for all of science is feasible today. At the Eigenfactor Project, we specialize in using citation networks to reveal the scientific landscape. I provide a series of quick illustrations of the kinds of things we can do with large-scale citation data. ]]>
