48,000 Australians were hospitalised due to a fall in their residence in 2020. This number is set to increase, as Australia’s population ages. We set out to improve elderly safety, without compromising their independence. More: bit.ly/2UGd3Nr Thanks to: @EdgeImpulse!

What is ABC? In the world of #statistics, it stands for Approximate #Bayesian Computation. ACEMS' research assistant Abhishek Vargese @av_varg recently completed a @DiscoverAMSI VRES and wrote this blog about what he learned about ABC: acems.org.au/projects/infere… #Bayes #stats

#QUT researchers have developed a new way to help predict and try to stop the spread of the ‘stubborn’ banana bunchy top virus #BBTV: bit.ly/3gE1ZpQ @PLOSCompBiol @QUTSciEng @KerrieMengersen @chris_drovandi @av_varg @ACEMathStats

QUT research helps fight Banana Bunchy Top Virus

Modelling the predicted movements of pervasive sap-sucking tiny insects before they infest banana crops has the potential to become a key tactic in the fight against a devastating virus.

Thanks Kerrie! It's been a wonderful experience that has seen me learn a lot. Thanks for your support.

Our profession is in safe hands with people like @av_varg. Still an undergrad, he has not only developed a new model but successfully addressed an important challenging problem that required trusted engagement with biosecurity experts, international researchers & farmers.
