JUNIPER consortium is very pleased to collaborate with the fantastic team at Plus Magazine (https://plus.maths.org/content/). Articles and podcasts produced by Rachel Thomas and Marianne Frieberg at Plus provide an explainer on the key mathematical modelling work done by the consortium on COVID-19 to a general audience. These articles are a useful primer for non experts to better understand the scientific evidence presented to government advisory groups. Find out more about content produced by Plus here (https://plus.maths.org/content/juniper) and below are some recent articles.
