Big brain surgery, big health data and big math to model disease
Manage episode 408947220 series 3229525
Organic farming is better for the planet, right? This week Dr Shane, Dr Ray and Dr Scarlett (with Dr Gracie beaming in from the USA) learn that the answer is mostly yes, but that it’s more complicated than first thought. Thankfully, calculating the behaviour of three or more celestial bodies is still as complicated as we always knew, and the human brain remains one of the great mysteries (even if half of it is removed).
Guests this week include Dr Jiadong Mao and Dr Saritha Kodikara from Melbourne Integrative Genomics - School of Mathematics and Statistics (University of Melbourne) who share their research on big health data and the importance of open source computing in their field, while PhD student Pratyush Kollepara (La Tobe University) talks about modelling infectious diseases with math and the ethics of determining the most effective solution to disease control.
