The workshop will bring together experts spanning the sciences, social sciences, engineering, and public health to address the social, cognitive, and emotional dynamics that emerge and influence the course of public health threats, the role of social media in shaping these dynamics, and the potential to incorporate social and behavioral data into the surveillance, forecasting and control of pandemics.

Through a combination of expert panels and breakout discussions, we aim to articulate a 5-10 year research agenda for advancing the art and science of investigating the dynamics of pathogens and human behavior.
