As we are approaching winter, the Covid-19 pandemic is spreading again. To prevent the spread of virus, understanding how it is transmitted via air currents during conversation is essential. Non-pharmaceutical measures such as wearing masks and social distancing are as important as medical treatments. Prof. Howard Stone recently published a study on pathogen transmission in speech. Prof. Makoto TSUBOKURA is researching the effects of wearing masks and face shields. These two experts will explain their results to the general public, followed by a discussion and Q&A.

 

Date: Tuesday, 8 December 2020, 10:00-11:30 am
Speakers: Howard Stone (Professor, Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Princeton University)
                 TSUBOKURA Makoto (Professor, Computational Fluid Dynamics, RIKEN Kobe University)
