- Reposted by Sarah VollertJob 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!

- 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

- 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?

- 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! doi.org/10.1007/s115... @chris-drovandi.bsky.social
