How to tackle TV interviews – SEFARI Gateway supported training

You know your subject matter inside out and it’s time to share it with the wider public. What better way is there to do that than through broadcast media – the most used source of news in Scotland? But the moment a camera is trained on you, the microphone has been switched on and the broadcast journalist readies to ask the first question, you freeze. It’s hard to even remember your name. It’s a situation we all fear. But it’s also one we can master and turn to our advantage so that we can better share our science and the impact it has.

Botanics and Bioinformatics

Having visited the beautiful, serene landscapes of the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh (RBGE) many times as a visitor, I jumped at the chance to see ‘behind the scenes’, meeting some of the researchers who are carving their path in plant science research. I have to confess that my PhD is not at all related to plants – I am studying zoonotic bacterial pathogens and antibiotic resistance in wildlife and livestock at a neighbouring SEFARI partner, the Moredun Research Institute.

Using serious gaming to communicate challenging concepts in water and land management

The highly interconnected nature of the many factors influencing land and water management can make communicating management options a challenge. Balance is key, managing economic, health, social, and environmental requirements within the limitations of land and water availability. Furthermore, the “out of sight, out of mind” nature of groundwater can exacerbate challenges in exploring and communicating management options.

Microbe Safari: A new web resource for the public and learners

Microbes play a wide variety of essential roles in keeping our guts healthy and in supporting food and agriculture production. Conversely, some microbial populations can cause serious disease, as foodborne pathogens or infectious agents of food-producing animals and crops.

Wild plants and urban greenery…my experience at the RBGE

The food system, which includes agriculture, land use, storage, transport, packaging, processing, retail and consumption already accounts for 21-37% of total greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, if we are to meet the Scottish Government’s climate target by 2045, relying on conventional agriculture systems is no longer an option and we will need to work together to find alternative solutions.
