25.01.2022 The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the plight of postdoctoral researchers. This story in Nature shows why funders need to be offering more than moral support. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02541-9

24.01.2022 AMSI BioInfoSummer 2020 registrations are now open! Join us for a virtual #bioinformatics conference hosted by The Australian National University 30 Nov - 3 Dec.... Explore our themes: * Single cell / transcriptomics * RNA biology * Long-read sequencing * Biomedical optimisation / data science https://bis.amsi.org.au/

23.01.2022 Ruby Payne-Scott was truly one of Australia's pioneering #WomenInSTEM for her work in radio astronomy. This is a very nice story about her in Cosmos Magazine. By the way, she was the mother of ACEMS' Inaugural Director, Peter Hall. https://cosmosmagazine.com//ruby-payne-scott-stood-out-in/

22.01.2022 What a day along Moreton Bay! Tanya Dodgen & Julie Vercelloni testing out the underwater drone for our Living Together Project with the Moreton Bay Foundation - using cool technology & statistics to see how recreational activities in Moreton Bay affect the wide diversity of marine life under the surface. Here is more information about the project: https://acems.org.au//living-together-moreton-bay-foundati QUT Science and Engineering

22.01.2022 AVAILABLE FOR FREE DOWNLOAD: the book, "Data Science and Machine Learning: Mathematical and Statistical Methods" - co-written by a team led by ACEMS Chief Investigator Dirk Kroese (The University of Queensland). To download a copy, head to https://acems.org.au/data-science-machine-learning-book-ava

22.01.2022 Isn't everything about mathematics already in a textbook? Absolutely not! We need maths and stats to help solve a lot of the problems our world is facing. Find out more about our work, and meet some of our researchers in this "Q & ARC" video. The #QandARC video series features a different Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence every week. The series is a great chance for you to see some of the amazing research taking place right here in Australia!

22.01.2022 The surprising things students DON'T need to start maths and science based degrees at university. A joint paper from Australia's Chief Scientist and the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) shows many universities don't require some pre-requisite courses to study certain disciplines and why that's not good.

19.01.2022 Join us today (Wednesday) - Noon - Melbourne & Sydney - 11:30 am - Adelaide - 11:00 am - Brisbane - 9:00 am - Perth

19.01.2022 The videos of the talks from last week's "Practical Applications of Network Science" Workshop are now online on the ACEMS website. They include a 3-part 'hands-on' lab on network science using R, hosted by Dr Maria Prokofieva from Victoria University. There were also ten invited speakers (see the image below). To watch the videos, head to: https://acems.org.au//practical-applications-network-scien

18.01.2022 Just published research in "Communications in Mathematical Physics" - ACEMS researchers at The University of Melbourne contribute to quantum toroidal algebras, which are quantum versions of toroidal Lie algebras. Read more about their research here: https://acems.org.au/proj/r-matrix-quantum-toroidal-algebra

17.01.2022 How do echo chambers form on social media? Why does misinformation spread so quickly during an emergency? Come explore questions like this with our researchers in the School of Mathematical Sciences at The University of Adelaide. It's a 3-year postdoc opportunity developing mathematical and statistical methods to understand information flow in social networks. https://careers.adelaide.edu.au//arc-grantfunded-researche

14.01.2022 We're proud to be an Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence. What is an ARC Centre of Excellence, you ask? Rather than tell you, we'll show you instead. This week in our #QandARC video series, meet some researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems. VIDEO: https://youtu.be/7K4FgfwE4Y8

10.01.2022 People use the term impossible in a variety of ways. It can describe things that are merely improbable, like finding identical decks of shuffled cards. It can describe tasks that are practically impossible due to a lack of time, space or resources. But Mathematical impossibility is different. Mathematician David Richeson explores the long history, and surprising relevance, of problems that just can’t be solved. https://www.quantamagazine.org/when-math-gets-impossibly-ha Quanta Magazine

09.01.2022 The pandemic has exposed many of us to new statistical concepts, on the news, in everyday conversations and on social media. If we don’t analyse statistics for a living, it’s easy to be taken in by misinformation about COVID-19 statistics, especially if we don’t have the right context. https://theconversation.com/now-everyones-a-statistician-he

09.01.2022 An Adelaide man breaks the Guinness World Record for world's 'tallest free-standing soap bubble'. It's one thing to create the bubble. It's another to show just how tall it was. That's where ACEMS Chief Investigator Matt Roughan comes in. Find out why he was brought in for the record attempt and what he did to verify it: https://acems.org.au//ADL-Guinness-Record-Tallest-Soap-Bub

09.01.2022 During this NAIDOC Week, our podcast explores the connections between mathematics & Aboriginal culture and how they might be used to change the way we teach maths. Our guest is Prof Chris Matthews, Chair of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Mathematics Alliance (ATSIMA). Chris is also the Associate Dean for Indigenous Leadership and Engagement at UTS Science.
