Today is Ada Lovelace day, and the Royal Society Te Apārangi have published a special feature on three recent Marsden Fund awardees. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/gqnRPhFX
Today is Ada Lovelace Day! Ada Lovelace Day honours the legacy of mathematician and computer science pioneer Ada Lovelace by highlighting talented wāhine researchers in STEM. Hear about the work of three recent Marsden Fund awardees who are applying their skills in mathematics to thorny problems in wildlife management and conservation biology. These three talented wāhine show just what can be accomplished by combining a love for numbers with a love for animals. With any luck, their skills in data science and mathematical modelling will contribute to a brighter future for some of our most vulnerable species. Finally, we include a brief reflection on the significance of Ada Lovelace Day from computer scientist and Chair of the Marsden Fund Council, Professor Gill Dobbie. 💡 Read more here https://lnkd.in/gqnRPhFX Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research Victoria University of Wellington The University of Auckland Massey University
