Congratulations to our Visiting Senior Research Fellow Lauren Gardner

Congratulations to our Visiting Senior Research Fellow Lauren Gardner who has been awarded “The 100 Most Influential People of 2020” by Time.

Lauren developed the real-time website, the Johns Hopkins University (JHU) COVID-19 dashboard which has been the go-to resource to track the global pandemic. It went online on 22 January, and by early March, it was accessed more than a billion times per day.

The website can be accessed here: https://time.com/collection/100-most-influential-people-2020/5888182/lauren-gardner/

Please join me in congratulating Lauren on this magnificent achievement.
