Vaccination Database Talks (Second Dose) — Fall 2021

There are some things in life that are just better when you have more of it. Fresh oranges. Toilet paper. And vaccines!

We are hosting the second dose of Carnegie Mellon University's "Vaccination Database Tech Talks" on-line seminar series. Each speaker will present the implementation details of their respective systems and examples of the technical challenges that they faced when working with real-world customers.

All talks are on-line and open to the public via Zoom. You do not need to be a current CMU student to attend. Random people off of the internet are especially welcome. Videos will be posted on the CMU-DB Youtube Channel after each talk.
