 mic'. \n\nHe will describe how some simple mathematical ideas helped make 
 sense of pandemic data and why plotting numbers on logarithmic scales enab
 les us to detect the start and end of COVID waves more quickly. In a simil
 ar spirit\, he will explain how Bayes' theorem allowed us to be confident
