Description

Gear up for another round of Fenner Flash Talks at the Fenner School of Environment & Society! Our experts are set to distill years of research into just 10 minutes of eco-educational excitement. Join us for quick insights and lively discussions over your favorite cup of joe!

First up, Sarah Clement presents "Shadow Networks and Distrust Spirals: Controlling 'The Science' Does Not Control the Narrative." Unravel the complex dynamics of how controlling scientific information doesn’t necessarily shape public perception or policy.

Followed by Frank Mills exploring "AGU's Global Research Policy - Parachute science and helicopter research." Dive into the ethics and implications of global scientific practices that impact local research landscapes.

Matt Colloff then delves into "Nature-based transformations: changing the climate adaptation decision context to enable social learning." Discover how embracing nature-based solutions can revolutionize our approach to climate adaptation and foster community learning.

Finally, George Wilson caps off with "Are Koalas Stranded Assets?" Examine the economic and ecological challenges facing koalas, questioning whether they could be considered stranded assets in our changing environment.

Get ready for a dose of rapid-fire research with lasting impacts! Join us for the talks and stay for the discussions. See you there!
