Pardon the non-tennis interruption!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carl Bialik and I–the duo that has brought you the Tennis Abstract podcast<\/a>–are five episodes into a new show, Dangerous Exponents: A Covid-19 Podcast<\/a>. We’re attempting to bring our usual analytical approach to issues related to the pandemic, while acknowledging that we’re not doctors, epidemiologists, or anything except for inquiring minds with a penchant for research and some skill at separating valuable research from the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our most recent episode is on herd immunity<\/a>: Is there really such a thing, how do we get there, and how will we know we have? Previously, we covered the question of holiday gatherings<\/a>; the role of exponents R0, Rt, and K<\/a>; the latest on vaccines<\/a>; and the trade-offs involved in keeping schools open<\/a>. Each installment runs approximately 45 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can find the episodes and subscribe in all the usual spots, such as iTunes<\/a> and player.fm<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we develop this new podcast, we’d love your feedback<\/a>. If you’ve listened to one of our previous episodes, or after you listen to the new one, please take a moment and answer a few questions<\/a> to help us hone our efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pardon the non-tennis interruption!
