SUMMARY:Quantum Gravity 2020
DESCRIPTION:The conference “Quantum Gravity 2020“ has a deliberately broad scope. We aim to include participants from all current approaches to quantum gravity\, as well as researchers working on the phenomenology of quantum gravity. The main goal of the meeting is to assess the progress made and to constructively and openly discuss open questions in our understanding of quantum gravity. \nA second goal is to work towards combining the insights gained in the various approaches. In its overall goal as well as the format\, this conference will differ from more specialized meetings that focus on specific quantum-gravity approaches. \nWe hope that this inaugural conference “Quantum Gravity“ can make a contribution to bridging the gaps between quantum gravity approaches\, and bring the entire community together for a constructive and fruitful exchange.

SUMMARY:CMS COVID-19 Research and Education Meeting (CCREM)
DESCRIPTION:The CMS had to postpone the 2020 CMS Summer Meeting planned for this June due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since we cannot hold a meeting in person\, the CMS still wants to provide a virtual platform for mathematicians to come together and learn during this difficult time. We feel that a meeting focused on the changes caused by COVID-19 to the way we plan\, teach and do research would be of great benefit to the Canadian mathematical community. \nThe session will cover NSERC’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic including new funding opportunities for researchers\, changes in policies for NSERC Discovery grants and scholarship and fellowship programs. NSERC staff will also be answering questions regarding the coming Discovery grant competition.

SUMMARY:AARMS COVID-19 Seminar:  Sana Jahedi (UNB) and James A. Yorke (Maryland)
DESCRIPTION:When the best pandemic models are the simplest\nAs a pandemic of coronavirus spreads across the globe\, people debate policies to mitigate its severity. \nMany complex\, highly detailed models have been developed to help policy setters make better decisions. However\, the basis of these models is unlikely to be understood by non-experts. \nWe describe the advantages of simple models for covid-19. We say a model is “simple’’ if its only parameter is the rate of contact between people in the population. Such models can be understood by a broad audience\, and thus can be helpful in explaining the policy decisions to the public. They can be used to evaluate outcomes of different policy strategies. However\, simple models have a disadvantage when dealing with inhomogeneous populations. \nTo augment the power of a simple model to evaluate complicated situations\, we add what we call “satellite’’ equations that do not change the original model. \nTo compare simple models with complex models\, we introduce our “slightly complex’’ Model J. We find the conclusions of simple and complex models can be quite similar. But\, for each added complexity\, a modeler may have to choose additional parameter values for which there is often little rationale but that can have a big impact on predictions. Our simulations suggest that the added complexity offers little predictive advantage. \nThis is a virtual zoom seminar.  If you would like to attend\, please email the organizers for connection details.
