How do phytoplankton and bacteria find and remain close to each other? Here we review current knowledge on the role of space in microscale interactions: tiny.cc/qdo0zz, co-led with the fantastic Sophie Zweifel & w/beautiful illustrations by Roberto Pioli Microbefluidics

Please join us in Melbourne (or online) on August 12 for the Dean’s Lecture Panel Discussion: “Model citizens: How mathematicians are helping the planet” Science at Melbourne University of Melbourne eventbrite.com.au/e/model-citize…

Hear from Douglas Brumley, Jennifer Flegg, A/Prof Guoqi Qian on how maths can helps us conserve coral reefs, treat illnesses and analyse weather at our upcoming Science at Melbourne lecture, panelled by science communicator Graham Phillips. Tap to register ➡️ unimelb.me/3WCpMNl

At our recent Science at Melbourne lecture, Douglas Brumley, @JenniferFleggg and A/Prof Guoqi Qian led a lively discussion on how mathematics contributes to a wide range of research at @SciGalleryMel. Thanks for coming along! Tap to watch the lecture ➡️ unimelb.me/4dRPGDG
