Why I got involved in research:

Research was something I wanted to do and experience for a long time and after finding a research topic that resonated with me I was pretty much invested on doing the work from the start.

Research Project

The social life of epidemiological models – Identifying the strengths and limitations as well as the use of epidemiological models to create policy

This study seeks to understand the use of models in epidemiology by identifying their development process as well as their strengths and limitations. The study will also address models in other disciplines to compare and contrast to factors involved in creating models in epidemiology.
