It's been such a long time since I added anything to this site that I forgot how to do it.
Since my last post in 2015 I've done a few things. Written a paper or two. Had a baby.
I joined the Mathematics Today editorial board in 2017 and had the opportunity to contribute an article on modelling and the AIDS epidemic for the 30th anniversary of World AIDS day.
Here it is:

As I don't know much about HIV modelling, I asked if I could interview Graham Medley who developed one of the early HIV models. It was fascinating speaking to Graham and reading papers from thirty years ago when the epidemic was still growing and much less was known about the epidemic drivers.
If I write another perspectives article then I'll write it about John Edmunds and contact patterns.
