Job alert: 2.75 -3 yr postdoc in Mathematical ecology/epidemiology or Decision Sci at the University of Queensland on the value of information for decisions with @hugepossum.bsky.social @katehelmstedt.bsky.social Katriona Shea & myself #MathSky 🌍 uq.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/uqcareers/jo... please share

This picture is such an accurate representation of me trying to make sense of my own research.

Thanks for hosting me @uq-cbcs.bsky.social, I had a blast!

Very excited to share my most recent paper on calibrating models of ecosystem networks. Featuring: @sarahvollert.bsky.social, Malyon Bimler, Chris Baker, Maude Vernet, Stefano Canessa, Chris Drovandi, @matthew-p-adams.bsky.social

Stoked to have a cover photo for @ecography.bsky.social! In our paper doi.org/10.1111/ecog... we included temporal dynamics into SSFs, resulting in daily patterns of movement and habitat selection.
Simulating gave us dynamic spatial predictions across the landscape.

Really interesting talk by @taces.bsky.social on how we should be selecting protected areas knowing that our environment is changing #anziam2025

Disclosure: I love any talk with penguin pics 🐧

Thanks @matthholden.bsky.social! The good thing about being the first talk of a conference is that everyone thinks it’s the best talk so far #anziam2025

100 years with the Lotka-Volterra equation... let's celebrate!

Math enviro conferences are wild because one minute you’ll chat with someone about how Nemo comically misrepresented the East Australian Current, and the next you’re learning that hot showers are killing the planet (hot water systems make up 10% of Australia’s energy consumption!)

Our new paper shows that generalised ecosystem population models are tragically bad at predicting conservation outcomes: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1... @cailanjs.bsky.social

Did we miss something? Is this impossible to predict? What does this mean for conservation planning?

We're hosting our fourth annual 'Environmental Modelling for Better Predictions and Decisions' symposium at QUT on 20-21 January. It's in-person only, always fun, and free! We focus on ECR/student presentations, networking, and panels. I always learn heaps and meet lots of researchers. Register now

New #BulletinMathBio paper by Sarah A. Vollert, Christopher Drovandi, and Matthew P. Adams on Ecosystem Knowledge Should Replace Coexistence and Stability Assumptions in Ecological Network Modelling.

In true academic style, I'm finishing my new years resolutions just before due date.

The ideas behind this paper have been my passion project since day 1 of my PhD, and I'm pleased to announce that it's finally published!

Thank you so much to whoever put this very comprehensive list of #science Bsky starter packs together. This is just amazing: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
