For reasons not clear to scientists, influenza viruses just don\u0027t spread much during summer in parts of the world that have pronounced seasons...  Data from swine flu\u0027s spread in the Southern Hemisphere is of significant interest to Georgia Tech researchers Pinar Keskinocak and Julie Swann. Last year they were part of a team that developed a sophisticated computer model to help predict how pandemic flu would spread in Georgia, giving local emergency officials ways of estimating resource needs.  \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.ajc.com\/services\/content\/health\/stories\/2009\/05\/07\/seasonal_flu_swine_flu.html\u0022\u003ERead more\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27279","created_gmt":"2009-05-07 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:06:25","author":"Barbara Christopher","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2009-05-07T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2009-05-07T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"57458","name":"ISyE External News"}],"categories":[{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"}],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EBarbara Christopher\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIndustrial and Systems Engineering\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=bt3\u0022\u003EContact Barbara Christopher\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404.385.3102\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["bchristopher@isye.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
