Women of Mathematics: Julia Gog

Submitted by Marianne on 14 September, 2022

In this podcast we are very happy to revist our 2017 interview with Julia Gog - Professor of Mathematical Biology and a very good friend of Plus. Over the last two years we've been working closely with Gog and her colleagues at the JUNIPER modelling consortium, communicating their work on the mathematical front-line of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this interview, first recorded to celebrate the addition of six portraits of Cambridge mathematicians to the Women of Mathematics photo exhibition, Gog told us about the buzz of mathematical research, and how maths can help you do good in the world.

To find a transcript and video of this interview, meet the other female mathematicians, and find out more about the exhibition, see here. And you can read more about the work of Gog and her JUNIPER colleagues here.

The music in this podcast comes from the band eusa. The track is called Plankton.
