    2006-Loyd-Wodarz-Drug Resistance in Acute Viral Infections-Rhinovirus as a Case Study
    We develop an epidemiological model that can be used to address the spread of resistance at the population level, and a virus dynamics model that can be used to study the dynamics of virus over the time course of an individual’s infection.

    2017-CW_Groetsch-Hammer and Feather - Some Calculus of Mass and Fall Time
    Does a heavy object fall faster than a lighter one? In 1971 NASA astronaut Dave Scott, Commander of the Apollo 15 lunar mission, used a hammer and a falcon feather on the surface of the moon to give a dramatic illustration that this is not so.
