In January 2020, there was a great deal of uncertainty around the emerging outbreak that would eventually become the COVID-19 pandemic. That month, a COVID-19 dashboard (https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html) hosted by the Johns Hopkins University went online, tracking rising case numbers globally. Ever since, the dashboard has remained an important source of information for the media, policymakers, and the general public. Lauren M. Gardner, a professor of civil and systems engineering at the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering, is one of the creators of the dashboard. In recognition of her efforts in creating the dashboard and establishing a standard for disseminating public health data in real time, Gardner has won the 2022 Lasker-Bloomberg Public Service Award. Gardner spoke with PNAS about her award-winning accomplishment that has served as a crucial public health tool.
