Dismal findings for a supposedly high-skilled country. This is not how you build a skilled workforce for the future.

[Scott Sisson @ABC_Research]

It was really great working with Anna Lopatnikova and @ngocmath1 on this work, introducing quantum computing to data scientists.

[Scott Sisson @ABC_Research]

The 2024 @ARCDARECentre Symposium was a fantastic event, and I learned so much listening to the next generation of researchers that DARE is producing. Looking forward to next year!

[Scott Sisson @ABC_Research]

@QUTDataScience @QUT @QldAcademySport @SASI_sport @InsideWAIS @UNSW @SurfingAus Fantastic to see @uDASH_UNSW student Jono Sebban talking about his HDR research with @SurfingAus at the launch of the Sports Analytics Consortium Next Generation Graduates Program!

[The Random Sample 🎧 @RandomSamplePOD]

REPORT:
🔺40% of maths teachers aren’t maths trained
🔺75% of AUS Year 7-10 students experience these ‘out of field’ teachers
A group of peak bodies in maths & stats is calling for government action to break the out of field teaching problems in maths.
