This week the Sheffield Math Bio gang hosted a fantastic celebration of Alan Turing with fascinating research talks, Bank of England's Emma Sinclair on the new £50 note and a live Q+A with Sir Alan's nephew, Dermot

New paper! Rich multistability in systems of moving, interacting populations. If 44 pages of heavy maths is daunting, skip to Fig. 6 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Movement is a key mechanism of space use patterns and distributions, but how do movement mechanisms give rise to these emergent spatial patterns? Can we predict? In Journal of Animal Ecology we provide new guide how to do this, starting from step selection analysis. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…
