An Operation Outbreak virus simulation found that BYU pandemic-related policies helped slow transmission of a virtual “virus.”
Curtis Hoffmann founded the BYU Operation Outbreak student association when he teamed up with Operation Outbreak co-creators Todd Brown and Pardis Sabeti, bringing the simulation to BYU and local K-12 schools.
The BYU microbiology and molecular biology department hosted a seminar on April 8 presenting the results from the simulation hosted between Feb. 19 and March 1. The three speakers at the seminar were BYU microbiology professor Brett Pickett, BYU public health professor Len Novilla and Andres Colubri from the Broad Institute of MIT
