Last week, Rick Stafford and PGRs Natalie Harris and Ellie Vincent from the Dept of Life and Environmental Science, along with visiting BU fellow and Southampton academic Vicky Dominguez Almela, ran a sold out workshop on simple predictive models (for non-mathematicians) at the British Ecological Society conference in Liverpool. Our paper (authored by Vicky, Rick and Abi Croker – a former BU undergrad, now a research fellow at Princeton) detailing the model, and it’s uses in ecology, environmental sciences and many other disciplines (including health, politics, economics and tourism) was also published on the same day (https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0305882).

We will be running some predictive modelling workshops in 2025, so please keep a look out for these. But if anyone is interested in using these models in their research, then please get in contact.
