In early March 2026 Simon was invited as Guest Speaker at the Medawar Day held at the Oxford Martin School in the University of Oxford. This symposium showcased the work of research of groups based in the Peter Medawar Building for Pathogen Research, including colleagues from the Nuffield Department of Medicine and Department of Biology, working in the areas of pathogen biology, host immune responses and mathematical biology.
Simon spoke in a session chaired by Prof Paul Klenerman, Director of the Medawar. He enjoyed the chance to network with colleagues from South Parks Road and warmly thanks the organisers for their kind hospitality.
