OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
5 years after COVID: what did modellers get right and wrong?
The COVID-19 pandemic represented a major challenge to many sectors of society. It also provided the opportunity for epidemiological modellers to prove their worth. Much of the modelling was performed to extremely tight deadlines and was underpinned by noisy and often biased data.
5 years on, and with the benefit of hindsight, I’ll present a personal perspective of what went well, what went badly and lessons for next time. I’ll cover many aspects, but pay particular attention to vaccination, roadmaps, Omicron and building collaborative networks.
