ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The Covid 19 pandemic demonstrated the importance of epidemiological models, simplified mathematical representations of real phenomena. How is a scientific model developed? How much can it be trusted? These questions are illustrated by the simplest of epidemiological models, the SIR (Sain Infecté Remis) model, used to think rationally about the pandemic episode and thwart misinformation.Incidentally, the same model also describes the extraction of a non-renewable resource and provides insights into our society's energy future.
