Been emphasising to my pest management postgrad class #biosci748 the importance of delimiting the boundaries of Biosecurity incursions. Never thought I’d hear our PM talking about this! NZ is good at Biosecurity - we can do this! #COVID19nz
And 1 last #BIOSCI748 workshop w Julie Kidd & Jo Aley @docgovtnz on social science & marketing - can we get behaviour change? Ideas for solving wicked problems: how do we get people cleaning shoes to prevent spread of kauri dieback? @KauriRescue @ScienceUoA
Ok - so pest management is full of wicked problems - #kauridieback is one. #BIOSCI748 pgrad students discussing the challenges, conflicts, & opportunities of a rahui with @NickWaipara @ScienceUoA @TiraWhakamataki
Lucky #biosci748 pgrads today! @NickWaipara discusses Maori & Biosecurity kaupapa @ScienceUoA
Super cool to have Emma Edney-Browne @AklCouncil come & talk to #BIOSCI748 pgrads about pest management prioritisation- Emma did this course a few years ago - see you can get a job!!! #graduateprofile
Prioritisation of pest management is hard! Some great debates going on here - how do we rank for funding? #biosci748 @ScienceUoA @brittlikesbugs
Look what made it to the top 5 research questions for Predator-free NZ from 1 student group!. @AS_glen #biosci748 postgrads @scienceuoa conservation dogs + detection distances
Creative juices starting to flow - how would these students tackle Predator-free NZ? #BIOSCI748 @ScienceUoA they’re finding really challenging!
Have come up with their own scoring system to be more objective in prioritising pest management #BIOSCI748 pgrads
