 Dr. Nancy Fleischer and Researchers created a new interactive tool housing US data on Tobacco 21 (T21) laws—regulations that raise the minimum age of the sale of tobacco products to 21. Nancy Fleischer highlights that data collected for this tool can be used by researchers to further study the effects and public health impact of T21 policies.

Michigan Public Health Launches Master of Science Degree in Computational Epidemiology and Systems Modeling
In this program, students are trained to become highly skilled epidemiologists who can understand and analyze public health problems with mathematical and statistical models.
Epidemiological models and simulation-based analyses are increasingly used to inform public health policy and practice. Notably, throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, government agencies, policy-makers and others have used epidemiological models to help inform decision-making and slow the spread of the virus.
