Hi everyone,

I thought I’d let you know of an upcoming forum here at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and Centre for Advanced Journalism at the University of Melbourne.

Transforming Data into Policy: What can we learn from climate change policy making in Australia? Speaker : Moderator: Michael Gawenda. Panel includes: Ross Garnaut, Greg Combet AM, Paul Kelly & Rod Sims Time and Date : 12:00PM, Tuesday 30th March 2010 Venue : Basement Theatre, The Spot, University of Melbourne Parkville Campus

Description : Climate change presents nations worldwide with complex and challenging policy dilemmas. This forum seeks to explore how well our public policy making processes have served Australia’s national interests in developing its response to climate change, including the development of support policies for trade exposed industries and for new technologies. It will also consider how well we have used and communicated quantitative data to help guide and inform the policy debate.

Moderator: Michael Gawenda

Panelists: Ross Garnaut (Author of the Garnaut Climate Change Review) Greg Combet AM, MP (Federal Minister Assisting the Minister for Climate Change) Paul Kelly (Editor-at-large of The Australian) Rod Sims (Director, Port Jackson Partners Limited)

Can anyone help me make contact with someone in the Society of Editors in Perth? The email address on their website has bounced, and they have no phone number listed.

Thanks

William Laurance is a Distinguished Research Professor at James Cook University and also works with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. His prolific research career includes the publication of five books and over 300 scientific and popular articles.

His research focuses on the impacts of intensive land-uses, such as habitat fragmentation, logging, and wildfires, on tropical ecosystems, and on global-change phenomena and conservation policy. He firmly believes that scientists must engage policy makers and the general public, as well as other scientists.

Join us to learn the keys to having a prolific scientific career.

Seminar Topics:

1. How to be more prolific: strategies for writing and publishing scientific papers

2. Further ways to maximise your scientific impact – interacting with the popular media and how to promote yourself

Each topic will run for 50 minutes and will include 10 minutes for audience questions. A tea and coffee break will be held between sessions.
