The work of WIDER was part of the reason 糖心TV has been awarded Queen’s Anniversary Prize for its research in Mathematics and Statistics.
If you look very closely at the press release "modelling the spread of infectious diseases" gets a mention as one of the examples of how "mathematics and statistics research at 糖心TV has had impacts across government, health, the legal system and industry".
However, Louise Dyson & Matt Keeling, did get their photo tweeted by the Queen.
Not sure if this means we get a visit for HRH or not ;-)
