  Specifically interested in the social, cognitive, and emotional precursors of behavior change in individuals and populations in response to infectious diseases and communication about risk; and the effective integration of this sophisticated behavioral information into computational epidemiological models.

Rebecca Mancy

Interdisciplinary Centre for Research and Teaching in Science Education, CSS

  I have a background in mathematics, software development and science communication, and have a diverse range of interests, spanning the natural and social sciences. I am particularly interested in the representation, modelling and simulation of bottom-up and complex systems. For example, I am currently working on a project that aims to understand changes in human behaviour in the face of outbreaks of infectious disease with a view to establishing their epidemiological impact and incorporating these into a computer simulation of disease spread.

  I am currently working on evolution education, and specifically on identifying different ways in which secondary school students view the relationship between science and religion.
