Day 25(1/27/18) *Chamonix*

Welcome to day 25! Today was an excursion day to a little ski village just outside of Geneva, called “Chamonix” (it was Paul’s suggestion that we all visit this village as a class!). It’s in France technically, so now it’s safe to say that in this trip I’ve been to the US, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany AND France (and soon to be Poland too!)

Like many of the places where we’ve traveled, Chamonix reminded me of a movie set; I could try to describe it using words, but it’s probably best if you look at the pictures! 
                   
                




I was actually feeling quite sick this morning, but wanted to go on the trip anyway since it’s not everyday that I get the chance to visit a ski village in the alps! I certainly did not regret it, but I paid for it in the evening since the changes in altitude aggravated the headache I already had, and it probably wasn’t great for my cough/sore throat to be walking around outside in the chilly air all day, but an 8pm bedtime and feeling like a train had hit me afterwards were 100% worth it! The views that I got to see that day, and the bonding time with classmates are memories I know I will hold with me for a while…perhaps on days in Minnesota when I’m back in class, which unfortunately will be very soon given that the trip is almost over :( 

Goodnight!

Day 3(1/5/18) *Atlanta/CDC*

Our group with Melissa '06, our host! Welcome to day 3! The number of things that we've done in these past 3 days is so great that I am surprised that it's only day 3-so many speakers, tours, experiences. I'm glad I'll be writing in this blog so I remember everything we do:)  Speaker #1: Matthew Biggerstaff, ScD, MPH (Influenza forecasting/statistical modeling) To start off the morning, we heard from Dr.Biggerstaff who works primarily in forecasting previous and future flu outbreaks. "How does one do that?" was my first thought. "I'm glad someone knows how to do that" was my second. It turns out that it's an incredibly complicated process, and that there are actually four different forecasting approaches that one can use to create a forecasting model: statistical(use historical data and info about external drivers), mechanistic(use knowledge about the infection process of the flu), machine learning(look at social media to track...

Day 23(1/25/18) *Geneva/United Nations*

Day 2 of United Nations talks! Welcome to day 23, a busy day at the UN filled with plenty of very interesting talks. So, let's begin! Speaker: Lawrence Fioretta , United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Top 3 things to know: 1. The UNHCR was created after WWII and was only supposed to exist for 3 years, but thankfully has existed ever since! 2. Currently, there are 22.5 million refugees worldwide, and 40.3 million internally displaced people (meaning they’re people who have been forced to flee their homes, but have not or cannot cross out of their country’s border) 3. There are three pillars that the UNHCR tries to use in order to best help refugees: 1)voluntary repatriation (once the person’s home country is guaranteed safe, they send them back home) 2) Local integration (settling the person into an asylum country, hopefully establishing school/work/community) and 3) 3rd country resettlement (moving the person to another country that’s differ...
