As the COVID-19 pandemic has made clear, adoption of new technologies and mitigation interventions to stop pandemics is not just a technical problem; solutions must be understood, embraced, and adopted by society. Prediction of plant disease pandemics is unreliable due to the lack of real-time detection, surveillance, and data analytics to inform decision-making and prevent spread. This symposium will feature a global panel of speakers covering various topics including diagnostics and sensor development, diagnostic networks at national and international levels, modeling, forecasting, and genetic tracking. General registration includes lunch and is $30, or $10 for students and postdocs.
