Radu, Aidan, Jo and Jason are members of a team of 33 visualization researchers and epidemiologists who have just published a paper in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A - the World’s first scientific journal which has, over the years, featured Halley, Newton, Darwin and other A-listers of science (!)

Visualization for epidemiological modelling: challenges, solutions, reflections and recommendations is based upon their experiences of trying to understand models and predict disease transmission and progression during the COVID 19 pandemic in the UK.

It draws conclusions about the use of visualization to support modelling at various stages of the process and includes many examples of novel and effective visualization interventions.

The paper is available through Open Access and provides a rich supplement of interactive materials and evidence that support the claims. This news item from City, University of London summarises things nicely.
