At the Australian Mathematical Society conference dinner on December 7 in Canberra, Sean Carnaffan received an honourable mention for his talk from the judges of the B H Neumann Prize (which was won, incidentally, by our former Honours student Hao Guo, now a PhD student in Adelaide). Earlier the same day, Adrianne Jenner placed 2nd in the inaugural Three Minute Thesis competition of this conference. Daniel Hauer was acknowledged at the dinner for his work in organizing this competition. Congratulations to Sean and Adrianne, and thanks to Daniel!
