What has more people than a netball team but fewer than a cricket team? The nine authors of "Sustainable Language Support Practices in Science Education"! The book was launched at the ANU Co-op Bookshop on Wednesday 14 December 2011. Three of the authors, Brett Lidbury, ALice Richardson and Felicia Zhang were joined there by the writer of the boook's foreword, Trevor Anderson of the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Anecdotes of the inception of the book were shared, and the importance of its content to universities and secondary schools was expounded. We thoroughly recommend it!

I've been watching some excellent BBC documentaries about maths and stats recently, including

The Joy of Stats, a one-hour general show presented by Hans Rosling.

The Story of Mathematics, 4 one-hour history shows presented by Marcus du Sautoy.

Here's a really cool-sounding project, that I read about in the newsletter of the Royal Statistical Society. Mathematics to the Limit is the working title of a proposaed museum / exploratorium of mathematics in the UK. An initial fund-raising event is planned for 26 January in London involving Marcus du Sautoy, Chris Budd and Charles Clarke. Contact Margaret Brown (margaret.brown@ kcl.ac.uk). I hope it is very successful!

I attended one day of the AMATA conference at the Shine Dome on 11 October.

The data handling and analysis talks raised lots of interesting questions for the new research cluster at the University of Canbera, IMADI, to consider. AMATA stands for Australasian Microarray and Associatd Technologies Association. IMADI stands for Information mdelling and Data Interpretation.

The Alternatives to Animal Research through Bioinformatics group (AARB) held its first full grop meeting on Friday 16 September. The group's website is http://jcsmr.anu.edu.au/research/genome-biology/alternatives-to-animal-research-through-bioinformatics.
Two current PhD students and one just-completed Masters student spoke about their projects and I gave a talk entitled Plans for Pattern Recognition. Wish us luck as we continue to grow, attract students and spread the good word about in silico experiments as opposed to in vivo!
