satRday 2020

satRday 2020 was held on the 7 March at the Discovery Head Office in Sandton. Once again it proved to be a great event covering a broad range of fascinating topics and networking opportunities.

Our CTO Robert Bennetto presented the last talk of the day on the growing threat of Covid with a talk entitled ‘Exploring the Corona outbreak with R’

Total Covid Infections around the world - This talk is born out of the observed exponential infection growth of the Corona virus outbreak in China - which was not observed with MERS or SARS. With the underlying data and equipped with R - lets visualise the outbreak, run some simulations and understand the outbreak a little better.

If you feel like you have missed out now, don’t worry, alll the presentations were recorded and can be found here.

A big thank you to the organisers for putting it together.
