In this episode, we caught up at the ESRI User Conference with Ensheng Dong, doctoral student at Johns Hopkins University. Ensheng is part of the team behind the Johns Hopkins COVID dashboard which we frequently saw on the daily news at the start of the continuing pandemic.

Ensheng shares the process of international data collection for the COVID dashboard and the process of sharing the data and its presentation on the dashboard, as well as current trends over the past several weeks.
