Really nice work Narges and Yihong!

Propagation through a barrier: Numerical analysis of a reaction-diffusion model with free boundary We try to better understand how a spatial barrier may affect the spreading of an invading species via numerical analysis of some variations of a free …

Some new work from me with PhD student Narges Shabgard and her supervisor, Professor Yihong Du:

We examine the ability of an invasive population to traverse hostile environments of differing widths and adversity, under different models for population growth.

Just noting that ARC is still on X/Twitter. Despite it now being clear that that platform produces child exploitation materials, they remain active there.

If you interact with ARC staff, I really think they need to answer this question. It's moved being simply "disconnected from researchers" to … 🤢

More on ARC job cuts & restructure:

ARC’s spending $374k on consultants for organisational “review” & “planning & development”.

They’re also spending $765k on “risk management”.

That’s $1.1 million on consultants being spent over 1 year.

Un. Believable.

Slow clap, ARC.

As an English speaking country (with nice beaches to boot) for the cost of a small tax on fossil fuel exports or high incomes Australia could invest in science, recruit researchers fleeing the US and become the knowledge powerhouse of the 21st Century. Instead we're doing this.

Forrest-backed study links Woodside mega-project to hundreds of deaths The research, conducted by academics at ANU, suggests the massive offshore gas project off the coast of Western Australia will cause warming of 0.00039 degrees.

A new study published in Nature Climate Action finds Woodside’s Scarborough gas project could cause 100s of heat-related deaths & exposed 500k people to unprecedented heat.

Govt can’t claim climate leadership while approving projects like this.
