How do diseases really spread through populations? In this episode, we break down graph networks and show how public health researchers use them to model disease transmission. You’ll learn how connections like social contacts, transportation systems, and superspreading events shape outbreaks, and how network-based models help with forecasting, contact tracing, and intervention planning. This beginner-friendly explanation reveals why graph networks are becoming essential tools in modern public health and epidemiology.
