55: Detecting Disease Outbreaks from Internet Traffic | Seth Stephens-Davidowitz

About this episode

The episode features a conversation with Seth Stephens-Davidowitz about detecting disease outbreaks using internet traffic data.

This is closely tied to a 4-hour collaboration between Sam Harris and me, which Sam is posting to his podcast's feed. I strongly recommend that episode too! But it's not "required" for you to get everything out of this fascinating conversation with Seth.
