Professor of Biostatistics Nicholas Reich has been at the forefront of infectious disease forecasting for years prior to the coronavirus outbreak. But ever since the pandemic hit, he’s been highly sought after by federal agencies (including the White House Task Force and the CDC) and national media, appearing regularly in stories ranging from the Washington Post, NPR, New York Times, and the Boston Globe.
