Contagious maths, Part 3: Everybody is different
In Part 3 Julia refines our model to use one of the most important numbers in disease modelling. And there's a chance for you to explore its meaning using a new interactivity.

In the final Part we explore what other aspects we need to consider to make a model more realistic. There's an interactivity that allows you to party, commute, and visit friends and we find out more about what life as a research is like from Julia.
In this final part, you can meet the researchers themselves and find out about the real research questions that Julia and some of her colleagues are working on!
What is the growth rate and what does it tell us about an epidemic?
What is herd immunity and what does it have to do with a number called R?
Generating electricity without the use of fossil fuels is not just an engineering and industrial challenge, it is also a huge mathematical challenge.
