Just published in Conservation Biology! An e.g. of a "minimum realistic model" to address conservation problems with little data. Led by Michaela Plein w/ Kate O'Brien, Matthew Holden 🏳️‍🌈 @matthholden.bsky.social Christopher Baker, Nigel Bean, Scott Sisson Michael Bode Kerrie Mengersen McMadLab. doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1…

FMD may set hearts racing, but good biosecurity protects us from at least 16,925 other things as well - we need to shift the narrative to the 30:1 ROI (i.e., net benefit) of action rather than focusing on the past costs and damages of inaction. CEBRA pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/an-ou…

Key controlling mechanisms of #ComplexSystems can be uncovered by identifying hidden parameter interdependences when #MathModels are fitted to #Data via our new method Science Advances ➡️➡️ See science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. Big thanks to McMadLab @UQ_CBCS QUT Centre for Data Science‼️ #UQ #QUT.

🦠📜🚨 First preprint from the #COVID19Aus national plan modelling work is out! 🙏 Freya Shearer @_NickGolding_ James McCaw James Wood Jodie McVernon Christopher Baker Michael Lydeamore @dj_price10 Trish Campbell medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Modelling for Australia's National Reopening Plan, including key vaccination thresholds, has been released on medRxiv. This is the first technical piece that fully outlines all the models and evidence used to help build the plan. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

New preprint alert! Read on to learn about rapid prototyping in the context of infectious disease decision making… medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thanks for the great workshop last week, and I'm looking forward to talking more and hopefully more lunches in the park 😊

❗️We're hiring❗️ Two year postdoc position Melbourne Mathematical Biology with myself, Matt Faria and James Osborne developing multiscale biological models and connecting these models with new organoid data.
