Some good news…
I was recently awarded a Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists’ science leaders scholarship.
The Wentworth Group reports independently to government on sustainability issues. The program aims to train a new generation of scientist that is able to help bridge the gap between public policy and science.
Seeing that the Australian Government is still in the stage of developing real climate change policy, it seems like a fantastic and timely opportunity to get on board.
It also provides us with a chance to be mentored by a range of eminent natural and social scientists. I am lucky to have the 2007 Australian of the Year, Dr Tim Flannery, Dr Ronnie Harding and Prof Bruce Thom as my advisers.
I am thrilled - I look forward to being a part of it!
Here is an article RMIT wrote up in August 2007.
