Need to be very diplomatic about it all, though ;) Perhaps something to consider as a reflective piece when we've completed this proof-of-concept.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290498036379352183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164804243040726299.post-48283030363579848102018-03-14T08:14:35.025-04:002018-03-14T08:14:35.025-04:00Thanks!

We're considering adding translational ecology as a research focus for an interdisciplinary curriculum in ecology/environmental science that I am affiliated with. Producing students with these skill sets would be an important contribution to society, I think. <br /><br />Angela - that sounds like difficult and fascinating. If you ever want to write a blog post about it...?Caroline Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319215430054509345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164804243040726299.post-82290949554640912322018-03-13T10:49:23.807-04:002018-03-13T10:49:23.807-04:00Really excellent post.

It's definitely been stretching my own skill set in our current project of designing a biodiversity assessment tool for NZ farms, in no small part because our proof-of-concept for doing the translational bits is sometimes met with a bit of skepticism on the part of those looking for "science excellence" and rigour based on metrics we apply to nicely controlled experiments.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09290498036379352183noreply@blogger.com
