WIDER helps Maths win Queen's Anniversary Prize

Fri, 20 Nov 2015 10:41:03 GMT

The work of WIDER was part of the reason ��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 ��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. https://twitter.com/BritishMonarchy/status/667406606313877504

Not sure if this means we get a visit for HRH or not ;-)
