A Shot in the Arm

Professor Yossi Sheffi, Director, MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics, Professor, MIT Institute of Data Science and Society, MIT, was a headliner at the conference and interviewed on-stage, followed by a book signing on his latest book, ‘A Shot in the Arm: How science, engineering and supply chain converged to vaccinate the world’. Yossi took us on the vaccine’s world-changing journey from scientific breakthrough, to coronavirus antidote, to mass vaccination, the mistakes that were made and how the mission could transform the way the world combats other global-scale challenges such as poverty, food and water security, climate change, and particularly in areas such as the funding of R&D and scaling innovations.
