What it’s about

Explore how outbreaks grow

Understanding Infection Dynamics helps you see how infections spread by letting you experiment with simple sliders and easy-to-read charts. In each mini-lab you can try what happens when people recover faster or protective measures are taken. Learning about infections becomes clear practical and even fun.

We make infection dynamics easy to understand interactive and engaging.
