Congratulations to Phillip Brown, whose work was just published in Nature Computational Science! Hopefully, his new framework will be very useful to the multicellular modelling community https://www.nature.com/articles/s43588-021-00154-4

Congratulations to Associate Professor Luke Bennetts who has been awarded the AustMS Medal by the Australian Mathematical Society http://ow.ly/Yd8a50CFgjm

Sad news of the death of a pioneering mathematician. Katherine Johnson calculated trajectories for the space flights of John Glenn (amongst others) and featured in the movie 'Hidden Figures' https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-51619848

Nasa pioneer Katherine Johnson dies at 101 Ms Johnson, who helped launch the first American into orbit, was portrayed in the film Hidden Figures.

Congratulations also to Alex Tam, who won the best student paper prize from the ANZIAM Mathematical Biology Special Interest group for this work:

A thin-film extensional flow model for biofilm expansion by sliding motility | Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences In the presence of glycoproteins, bacterial and yeast biofilms are hypothesized to expand by sliding motility. This involves a sheet of cells spreading as a unit, facilitated by cell proliferation ...

Congratulations to Rose Crocker, who won the T M Cherry prize for best student talk at the ANZIAM conference!
