Cracking COVID modelling
Since COVID-19 hit, the science of modelling has moved into the spotlight. Today we’re talking about the reasons for the difference between two recently published examples from the Doherty Institute and a preprint from ANU. Professor Ivo Mueller, an epidemiologist at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne, working across population health and immunity, explains the assumptions inherent in each. At a time where modelling is so prevalent, it’s important to build modelling literacy and unpack the methodology of modelling, so we can all understand what they can and can’t do! Today’s interview is hosted by Cosmos Magazine editor Gail MacCallum.
