🎉 Huge congratulations to our academics Liyi Zhou, Xiang Zhang, and Yu Yao, who were awarded a Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) by the Australian Research Council!

We look forward to the amazing research this will enable them to conduct at #USyd! rms.arc.gov.au/RMS/Report/D...

Proud to receive the David Robinson award tonight from the Information, Telecommunications, and Electronics Engineering (ITEE) College of Engineers Australia, for outstanding achievements in ITEE Engineering. Nominated by my honours supervisor from many years ago Prof Graham Town

Save the CSIRO

Our national science & research agency is now facing more job cuts than under Tony Abbott

Call on the Albanese Govt to fund the scientists & research we need to tackle big issues we face from climate to food security and everything in between

CSIRO to cut up to 350 research jobs in major overhaul After 440 positions were slashed last year, the CSIRO has announced more staff cuts across the country in a bid to remain financially viable.

“CSIRO has announced it will slash up to 350 jobs as the national science agency grapples with long-term financial challenges … with current funding failing to keep pace with the rising costs of running a modern science agency.”

Not “challenges”. They’re choices. 😡

Congratulations to our researchers on their 5 ARC #DiscoveryProjects! This is over AUD 3.5M towards cutting-edge research in areas as diverse as biomedical foundation models, robust logic-based planning, ML-aided algorithms, computational design with living materials, and LLM vulnerabilities! #DP26

Had to give an example of misinformation in class last night. Started with my favourite example of the weather forecast saying "rain" but then the actual weather has no rain. "Oh wait, pretend you're not in Sydney in 2025 and it actually might not rain..."

Hundreds more CSIRO jobs on the chopping block as experts raise fears over impact on science Exclusive: Concerns Australia is gutting its research capability coincide with Trump’s deep cuts into US science agencies

Dear Prime Minister @albomp.bsky.social
During a recent electoral debate, when asked about climate, you said you believe the science, and the scientists.

Do you believe them enough not to defund and fire them at such a critical time?

#ohbm2025 Early Career Investigator Award to @macshine.bsky.social - congratulations, super well deserved!

Looking forward to giving my tutorial at @netsciconf.bsky.social tomorrow on "Inferring network models from multivariate time-series data: Philosophy, approaches and considerations". Slides and python notebook are posted at github.com/jlizier/neti... for those wanting to play along

Great to be involved in this very nice project by @anniegbryant.bsky.social on categorising info theory measures on time-series data, with some fantastic visual explainers --

Big shout-out to @jlizier.bsky.social, whose patience, dedication, and guidance in supervising me through this project have been invaluable 🙏 Thank you also to our other fab co-authors for their insightful input as always: Oliver Cliff, @macshine.bsky.social, and @bendfulcher.bsky.social!
