DESCRIPTION: Unfortunately\, modelling of infectious disease n
 o longer needs as much introduction as it did befo
 re 2020. The use of mathematical approaches during
  the COVID-19 pandemic was very visible\, both for
  aiding policy decisions\, and for the public unde
 rstanding of the unfolding pandemic. In this lectu
 re\, I will give a speed introduction to the ideas
  of mathematical modelling\, how we were able to c
 ontribute to scientific advice to the UK governmen
 t\, and also something of my personal story on sci
 ence communication during the pandemic.
