Congratulations @CailanJS, the @QUTMathEcology team are incredibly proud. @CailanJS has done some phenomenal research into the adaptive features of cellular systems and ecosystems, showcasing some impressive mathematics.
Guess who just finished their PhD final seminar! Congratulations @CailanJS! Thanks for teaching me that you can write your thesis doc in the last few months, that bagels are the highest form of motivation & that you can "accidentally" jigsaw-procrastinate for hours.

Could not have done it without the fantastic people around me. Thanks @SarahVollert for being there to bounce ideas off - your support has been priceless. Maybe one day I'll be able to give a presentation as good as you.

Great to see this work published after the incredible impact its had on the direction of my own work.

Such a great experience to be able to speak at #canziam about work that gets to combine two of my favourite areas of mathematics. Congratulations to @SarahVollert on best student talk. It is fantastic to be surrounded by such great minds. Great night for #QUT
Robust perfect adaptation has been studied outside of ecology & conservation but @CailanJS adapts the theory for commonly used equations in ecology (which is quite challenging) using algebraic geometry! Lots of potential applications @qutmathecology

When you accidentally look like the movie character in your talk ~ nice work @CailanJS, @KateHelmstedt was very engaged 😊 learning about species translocation for conservation at @QUTMathEcology Symposium

Couldn't have done it without your fantastic workshop @JKHopf . I learnt so much and got to put it into action immediately! Just wait until ANZIAM when I have more slides.

I cannot thank @StatSocAus and @EnviroStatsSSA enough for this award! The best Christmas gift is making mum proud.
Congratulations to Sarah Vollert on having been awarded the 2022 Tjanpi Award by the Environmental Statistics Section of the SSA! statsoc.org.au/Environmental…

Excited for this incredible work by @robynaraujo. Huge implications for studies of adaptation.
SO thrilled to share my latest results from my #ARCFutureFellowship research. We report here, for the first time, a universal description of all possible adaptation-capable chemical reaction networks that can exist in nature, across all domains of life.
