Math Jabs Back: How math helps us get even better vaccines even faster

Ever wonder how vaccines work? SIAM member Jeffrey R. Sachs, who leads vaccine modeling and simulation efforts at Merck, explains how mathematics plays a critical role in our daily lives, specifically focusing on how math is used in the development, discovery, and manufacturing of vaccines.

Note: all scenes of conferences in this video were filmed before the pandemic, and interview filming involved vaccination as well as appropriate masking and social distancing.
