Science Sundays: Elisabeth Root, Has Cholera Met its Match?
Time: 3-4 p.m.
Event Host: College of Arts and Sciences
Short Description: Small is—put simply—big. Miniaturized electronics has placed incredible computational power literally in the palms of our hands. But a different type of miniaturization, the miniaturization of machines, is now getting underway. Paul L. McEuen gives us a peek at what’s coming, including ways to construct micro and nano scale machines and how they will affect our lives.

Geographic Science and the Fight Against a Global KillerElisabeth Root, an associate professor of geography at Ohio State, takes us into the past with the story of John Snow, who stopped the London cholera epidemic by using geographic science to figure out the source of the outbreak. Then, back to the present, we see how modern geographic science can track and prevent outbreaks. 21st century climate makes it even more pressing because today cholera is being driven by rising sea-surface temperatures.

Root's research area lies at the intersection of geography and public health. She uses spatial statistical methods and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to integrate socioeconomic and environmental context into studies of disease processes and health behaviors. All Science Sunday lectures are from 3-4 p.m. with a reception from 4-5 p.m. in the Ohio Staters Traditions Room, Ohio Union.
