Links Wheatley Institute research reports Addressing Pornography Share your thoughts in the Leading Saints community Transcript coming soon Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights Kurt and Brian discuss the complexities of pornography use within religious contexts. Brian emphasizes that young adults will encounter pornography, often leading to shame and guilt. He highlights the importance of understanding the motivations behind pornography use, which can range from curiosity to emotional coping mechanisms. Brian also addresses the stigma surrounding addiction labels. He explains that only about 10% of users experience compulsive behavior, while many others face problematic use. Church leaders should focus on creating a safe environment for youth to discuss these issues. By asking questions about triggers and providing coping strategies, leaders can help youth navigate their experiences. Brian encourages a balanced approach to discussing pornography, emphasizing hope, understanding, and the potential for growth through repentance. 03:35 - Brian Willoughby's Expertise in Pornography Research 04:26 - Overview of BYU and the Wheatley Institute 05:57 - Research Impact on Policy and Society 06:57 - Teaching Future Therapists and Family Studies 07:37 - The Stigma of Pornography in Religious Contexts 08:50 - Understanding the Broader Impact of Pornography 09:51 - Meta-Analyses and Key Findings on Pornography 11:38 - The Concept of Addiction and Compulsive Behavior 12:58 - Potential for DSM Inclusion of Hypersexual Disorder 13:47 - Brain Chemistry and Pornography Use 15:29 - Distinction Between Addictive and Problematic Use 17:34 - Scripting Expectations from Pornography 19:24 - Social Media and Its Impact on Mental Health 20:34 - The Need for Open Conversations About Pornography 21:09 - The Role of Church Leaders in Addressing Pornography 22:13 - The Importance of Avoiding Labels of Addiction 23:47 - Understanding Youth Experiences with Pornography 25:56 - The Normative Context of Pornography Use 27:06 - Creating Positive Conversations Around Pornography 28:51 - The Role of Fear and Anxiety in Youth Discussions 30:05 - Normalizing Sin and Repentance 31:04 - Distinction Between Guilt and Shame 34:02 - Motivating Youth Through Guilt vs. Shame 36:57 - The Importance of Understanding Triggers 39:11 - Building Coping Skills for Youth 41:27 - Final Thoughts on Support and Guidance The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.Javier is a User Experience Research Director with more than 20 years of experience in the field. He is passionate about building effective research organizations that scale and deliver critical user insights that help teams develop successful products that delight users. He has a proven track record of career development and coaching.In our conversation, we discuss:* The difference between strategic and tactical insights, not methods and why that distinction matters.* How to navigate the perceived “versus” between strategic and tactical research and instead embrace a more fluid, problem-driven approach.* Ways to embed strategic insights into product planning through tools like “strategic primers.”* How to deliver value in both tactical and strategic spaces—and earn your seat at the table in high-level planning.* How researchers can broaden their method toolkit to avoid defaulting to the same approaches and unlock new kinds of insights.Some takeaways:* Strategic and tactical are outcomes, not methods. Javier emphasizes that insights, not research methods, determine whether something is strategic or tactical. Usability tests can uncover strategic direction, and field studies can surface tactical improvements. Researchers need to move away from labeling methods and focus on the value the insights provide to the business.* You can't influence strategy if you're not in the room. Delivering a compelling presentation isn't enough. To make strategic insights actionable, researchers need to be present during planning and roadmap discussions. If you're not sure when strategic planning happens, that's a red flag and an invitation to start earning your seat by solving the right problems.* “Strategic primers” help researchers shape roadmaps. One of Javier's teams developed strategic primers: succinct, insight-packed documents delivered ahead of planning cycles. These primers synthesize research and industry knowledge into clear recommendations, helping PMs and leaders use research to guide direction-setting conversations.* There's no seniority in choosing tactics over strategy. Some researchers fall into the trap of avoiding tactical work as they become more senior. But successful researchers move between both as needed, supporting teams through every phase of development. Avoiding tactical work can disconnect you from the product and from impact.* Stop chasing “strategic work, and, instead, solve the right problems. Rather than seeking out work that feels more senior or impressive, Javier encourages researchers to focus on the problems that matter most to the business. When you deliver insights that move the team forward, strategic or tactical, you build trust, influence, and long-term value.Where to find Javier:* Website* LinkedInInterested in sponsoring the podcast?Interested in sponsoring or advertising on this podcast?

Today's episode features a roundtable discussion on Research Impact. Caroline Goldsmith, Associate Director, Charleston Hub, talks with Rachel Borchardt, Scholarly Communication Librarian and University Library Faculty, American University; Andrea Hebert, Research Impact Librarian, Louisiana State University; and Camille Gamboa, AVP, Corporate Communications, Sage. This conversation features both the librarian perspective and the publisher perspective of how each defines and supports research impact at their institutions, how the conversation has expanded over the years, and why forward thinking is crucial to meet the challenges such as academic silos, the dominance of traditional metrics, and the lack of commitment from U.S. universities to initiatives like DORA, and to support more effective impact of research. Librarians have an important role in shaping these conversations and helping institutions move beyond traditional metrics. We also discuss Policy Maps, which is a free tool offered by Sage for individual researchers to determine their policy impact.

Research, especially at a high level, can feel like a deeply thankless job. You work alone, face endless struggles, and rarely get recognition. But over the years, I've learned to push through by reflecting on how fortunate I truly am.I come from an immigrant family. My parents didn't finish high school. My grandmother, an orphan, raised her family in the harsh conditions of Northern Ontario just to survive. When I think about this—about the sacrifices that led to where I am—I feel a deep sense of privilege and responsibility to change the world for the better.What keeps me going is knowing that the work I do has meaning. I'm building something—through the R3ciprocity Project—that helps others push forward with their own research. Knowing that I can improve people's lives and support their journey has changed who I am. It's no longer about impressing anyone; it's about leaving something behind that matters.Remembering where I came from gives me pride, purpose, and the drive to keep building. The struggles of research are real, but so is the impact we can make. For me, that's enough to keep going.

In this episode, Erin and Carol tackle one form of research impact growing in importance and necessity: revenue. Their guest is Claudia Natasia, co-founder and CEO of Riley AI. Before starting Riley, Claudia grew product teams at early-stage companies and worked in the financial industry. These experiences showed her the importance of linking user research outputs to the bottom line of a business.During their conversation, Claudia breaks down what revenue typically looks like for a company and where you can find the specific revenue goals for your company. Then she digs into the important processes of weaving those revenue goals into a research strategy from the start, offering examples from her time on product teams.The discussion also explores the importance of triangulation, or combining multiple data types to form a more complete whole. Claudia explains that user researchers should balance conducting primary research with existing information to help clarify how UX is linked with wider business goals.

Rebecca Williams, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. Rebecca contemplates the journey of her work from its conception to its final goal of tangible real-world impact. She shares a personal anecdote about her first publication, reflecting on the sense of anticlimax when the anticipated change failed to materialise instantly. This experience serves as a springboard for a broader discussion on how researchers can create a more direct path to impact. Rebecca provides practical suggestions on how to align research with NICE recommendations to ensure relevance and application in health services. She urges researchers to engage with policy-making, even in the early stages of their careers, to understand the kind of evidence that can influence decisions and replicate success. Furthermore, she emphasizes the importance of public engagement, advising researchers to consult with patients and carers to ensure their work addresses real needs and achieves its intended effect. The blog underscores the idea that research impact should not be an afterthought but a guiding principle from the beginning of the research process. By integrating these approaches, she advocates for a more intentional and effective pathway to ensure that research does not "enter the void" but instead contributes to meaningful progress. Find the original text, and narration here on our website. https://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/blog-research-impact-beginning-at-the-end/ -- Rebecca Williams is PhD student at the University of Cambridge. Though originally from ‘up North' in a small town called Leigh, she did her undergraduate and masters at the University of Oxford before defecting to Cambridge for her doctorate researching Frontotemporal dementia and Apathy.

This week the attention of British political journalists was firmly fixed on Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, who unveiled big tax cuts in his much-anticipated Autumn Statement on Wednesday. The Conservative government's cuts to National Insurance will put a few more pounds into UK payslips starting January– but at what cost? The Guardian's Kiran Stacey joins Nish and Coco to explain what these cuts mean for public services (spoiler alert: it's not good), and to explain why these proposals look like the work of a Chancellor who doesn't plan to be in office much longer. While the Tories plot out a strategy for the next election– and its aftermath– the millions of people using food banks have other concerns. Helen Barnard, Director of Policy, Research & Impact at the Trussell Trust explains what the Autumn Statement means for people struggling with food insecurity and homelessness, and why tax cuts typically benefit the wealthiest members of society, not the poorest. She also lays out what kinds of structural changes could help end poverty.Planned changes to the disability benefits program give Nish a villain for the week, while Coco celebrates the heroic campaigners of Stop MSG Sphere whose activism successfully halted plans to build a bulbous, pulsating light-polluting orb-shaped music venue in Stratford, East London.Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.

The UK's Research Excellence Framework (REF) collects research outputs from UK universities and is used by the the country's government to distribute around £2 billion in research funding. But its focus on publications to measure outputs has drawn criticism. The Hidden REF, set up in 2020, looks at alternative measures. Simon Hettrick, its chair and director of the Software Susaintability Institute at the University of Southampton, UK, explains what can be submitted, and why publications are excluded. Gemma Derrick, a former member of the Hidden REF advisory committee who studies research policy and culture at the University of Bristol, UK, talks about its “hidden roles” category, and why some entries moved judges to tears. Kevin Atkins, who has worked as a site engineer at the University of Plymouth's Marine Biological Association for 32 years, was highly commended in the category. He describes a typical day, and how his work contributes to the wider research enterprise.Another highly commended entry was Growing up on the Streets, an international co-produced research project led by the University of Dundee, which focuses on around 200 young people aged 14 to 20 across three African cities: Accra, Bukavu and Harare. Lorraine van Blerk, a human geography researcher at the university, explains how six young people in each city were recruited as researchers, and how their roles were recognised and celebrated.

Despite the interruptions, Kirsten highlights the positive reception from the audience and the approachability of well-known figures like Dark Tangent (DT) - (aka Jeff Moss). The conversation emphasizes the importance of engaging with others at conferences like DEF CON and offers tips on how to approach and interact with people.Kirsten also talks about the car hacking village, including the unique experiences like a Tesla being pummeled and hacked for a capture the flag (CTF) prize. The hosts and guest discuss the culture of badges at DEF CON, with the car hacking badges being functional and allowing participants to plug them into their cars.They mention the inclusiveness and welcoming nature of the DEF CON community and the impact of the research and content being presented. Throughout the episode, there is a comical element as Kirsten shares her experiences of speaking on stage during the alarm interruptions and the humorous interactions with the audience. The conversation also touches on Kirsten's son's involvement at DEF CON and the excitement of collecting badges, which are powered and customizable, adding to the overall sense of community and engagement at the conference.This episode offers a glimpse into the excitement, challenges, and camaraderie of attending and speaking at DEF CON, while emphasizing the importance of inclusiveness and the impact of the research being presented. Listen now to get a sense of this year's event - and be sure to follow Kirsten and the rest of the car hacking village crew to learn more about creating a safe and secure connected car ecosystem.About The Car Hacking VillageThe primary goal of the Car Hacking Village is to build a community around discovering weaknesses and exposing vulnerabilities that could significantly impact the safety and security of all drivers and passengers on the road today. Educating security researchers on the functionality of vehicle systems coupled with providing them with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working side by side with experts in this field is a plus for the attendees. Leveraging the vast amount of experience the security research community brings to the Village may increase the safety and security of vehicles on the road today and for generations to come. Breaches of automotive systems have been in the forefront of the global media for more than a year. Wired and wireless exploitation of vehicle systems has become a critical safety concern for the automotive industry, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Congress, the Department of Homeland Security, and consumers. Car Hacking Village plays an important role for researchers interested in the safety and security of the more than one billion vehicles on the road worldwide. In 2015, over 16.5 million vehicles were sold in the United States. On average, motor vehicles are driven over 15,000 miles annually and consumers spend upwards of 730 hours per year in their cars.Be sure to catch all of our conversations from Black Hat and DEF CON 2022 at https://www.itspm.ag/bhdc22____________________________Guest: Kirsten Renner, Community Volunteer at DEF CON 101On Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/krenner/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/KrennerOn YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxjvVVSu5Q3-ttIUdxxyCvJiN-TXuJ7j0____________________________This Episode's SponsorsImperva | https://itspm.ag/imperva277117988Pentera | https://itspm.ag/penteri67a____________________________ResourcesDEF CON 101 - Welcome to DEF CON Panel: https://forum.defcon.org/node/246130More info about the DEFCON31 Car Hacking Village Badge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvvOl6LfodQLive from the Car Hacking Village Interview (hack a Tesla Y): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YyyTkMdWikITSP Black Hat 25 & DEF CON 30 Live Streaming Coverage with ITSPmagazine with Car Hacking Village: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jMXUIW9FRESean and Kristen with their Car Hacking Village badge: https://twitter.com/Krenner/status/1028385017037115392?s=20Kristen on DC101 Panel (photo): https://twitter.com/bigrinnyo/status/1689807935096930304?s=20Car Hacking Village website: https://www.carhackingvillage.com/Car Hacking Village Talks | https://www.carhackingvillage.com/talksAt DEF CON: https://forum.defcon.org/node/240928____________________________For more Black Hat and DEF CON Event Coverage podcast and video episodes visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/black-hat-2022-and-def-con-hacker-summer-camp-las-vegas-usa-cybersecurity-event-and-conference-coverageAre you interested in telling your story in connection with Black Hat and DEF CON by sponsoring our coverage?

A new national survey reveals that South Africans read more than we think: 83% of South Africans read in some way, whether for pleasure, to learn new things or to communicate with others, and 32% read books regularly. But they still face significant challenges accessing reading material, especially in African languages, and most children are growing up without any children's books at home. This is one of the key findings presented in the 2023 National Reading Survey (NRS), launched alongside the National Reading Barometer (NRB) project by the Nal'ibali Trust, the National Library of South Africa (NLSA), and a multi-sector project steering committee in Sandton, Johannesburg, on 13 June 2023.

To better understand the complexities of homelessness, we look at the City of Hamilton as a case study. A once affordable city located on the western shores of Lake Ontario, Hamilton is now ranked the third most expensive city in North America. We examine various innovative pilot projects happening in and around this community, which has committed to ending chronic homelessness by 2025. We hear the voices of nine experts, working on homelessness in various capacities from the policy to the grassroots level, as we unpack the different perspectives and efforts underway to not just manage homelessness but to end it.

On today's show, Sima is excited to host a panel of three powerful and well-respected women as her guests. Tiffany Hays is the CEO of FUEL Global. She is and also CEO of The Focus Room. Aryn O’Donnell is the Vice President of Corporate Services of Fieldwork. And Kelli Hammock is Senior Client Solutions Manager at L&E Research. Tiffany, Aryn, and Kelli are all in the qualitative space in which Covid-19 greatly impacted. The impact of Covid-19 on Fieldwork Fieldwork has in-person qualitative research spaces that got impacted by Covid-19. At Fieldwork, they have always been solving their clients’ problems, and right now, they are solving new problems. They got forced to think differently, ask questions, and find new ways to connect with their industry colleagues. The impact of Covid on L&E Research L&E Research had to make a big pivot to learn how to get proactive around the changes that happened within the industry and the company. They had to come up with solutions to apply to the new problems that their clients were having. The biggest thing for them, professionally, was getting out of the reactive mode and figuring out how to make things work. The Impact of Covid on Tiffany, as a leader The biggest thing for Tiffany, as a leader, was making sure that her employees had even more flexibility than she was used to giving them. There were new challenges that she never expected to face as a leader. She had to set boundaries for her teams to ensure that everyone gave each other space and checked up on one another’s mental health within their organization of about 25 employees. They had to become aware of the new challenges with which people were dealing. The impact of Covid on FUEL Global In the business itself, Tiffany’s clients preferred to be in-person. So there was some push-back to them having to use an online qualitative platform. Working on a global scale, the company had to learn to manage clients across the globe. One of their biggest challenges was ensuring that the clients could get what they needed in the online world. A breaking point Tiffany believes that this will be the breaking point in our industry, where the clients realize that they can do both in-person and virtual. And we will see a permanent reduction in in-person research. Clients are thinking critically Aryn believes that clients are now thinking critically about what the goals of their research are. And they are deciding what they need because all research cannot get done remotely. Producing revenue Understanding client’s objectives clearly, and helping them figure out how to get what they need out of the research is vital right now. Tiffany is helping her clients figure out how to get things done because that is not going away. And that, in itself, produces revenue. Safety within the facility From a facility perspective, Aryn feels that it is her company’s role to educate the clients. And work with them to find the right solution in terms of safety protocols. From where the hesitation to get back to in-person research is coming Kelli does not think that any hesitation to get back to in-person research is coming from the respondents. She feels that it is coming from a corporate legal perspective. Where we are most likely to see in-person research get back to normal We are most likely to see in-person research getting back to normal in the markets with many local clients who need not travel too far to get to the facility. Flexibility and support Some challenges that research companies have to manage currently around their workforce are offering flexibility and support. And setting boundaries. They also have to address the mental health repercussions of the pandemic. Links: Email me your thoughts!

Gamification offers a fresh take on teaching design that offers increased engagement and improved learning. However, research to-date has been unclear about what components of gamification work. We read a meta-analysis that searches for which pieces of gamification can benefit your students. Later, we turned to a study of how research is interpreted by teachers. They identify which measures are popular and which ones are effective. As teachers, we can recognize our preference so we can manage our bias as we read.
There’s bipartisan support in the United States for the establishment of a national AI research cloud. So, how would academics benefit and what role would big tech play in its operations? Also, problems with academic inclusivity in the developing world, and could alternative channels of distribution soon rival the primacy of peer-reviewed journals?

Laura Evans from Nifty Fox (@NiftyFoxCreativ) joins us to launch season two of the podcast. Laura started her career in Higher Education by supporting widening participation and student engagement. Through this experience, she could see that it wasn't always easy for her to come out and she felt that many services were missing their mark including missing the LGBTQ+ community. Her experience eventually saw her start her own consultancy company where she supports universities and researchers to tell their stories and translate their research into impactful graphics. We discuss with Laura what it was like to work in HE while not being out and how this impacted on her work and self-confidence. Since starting her own business Laura has experienced the challenge of working in international settings which have not been open to the LGBTQ+ community and have had a range of fascinating and important conversations with researchers about who is missing in their research. As a keen LGBTQ+ and diversity advocate, Laura's story is fascinating and an important listen. We hope you enjoy it.Do make sure you follow us on Twitter (@divrespod) and please rate and review the podcast wherever you listen to it.

Every day, organizations like BC Housing conduct critical research that has the potential to shape decisions and our world. But finding ways to share, promote and activate the knowledge produced can seem almost impossible in a world filled with noise and fake news. And if no one knows about your work, they can't use or support it.Recognizing this, Karen Hemmingson, former Chief Research Officer, Research and Corporate Planning at BC Housing, decided to try something different. Inspired by an adventure storytelling event called FEAT, she and her colleagues invested in using stories to mobilize their research on Community Housing for Resilient Communities. As expected, their story-driven communications work was successful at engaging both existing and new audiences. But what they didn't expect was that they'd generate rich new insights through the process of shaping the stories - insights they likely would have missed through a more traditional approach. In this episode, Karen walks us through the project, explaining how things unfolded, the challenges they faced, and why - from a leadership perspective - she chose a story-based approach. She also speaks to the reluctance of some researchers to use stories to share their work, highlighting the fact that communication doesn't have to be only data or only stories. And she shares tips for those considering using stories to advance their own research impact. Read more of her insights on the project here.

The paper investigates how collaging, drawing, or clay modelling can reduce the cortisol levels (a stress hormone) of healthy adults.
This week Mark looks at emerging evidence that the impact agenda is creating institutional cultures that can lead to unintended negative outcomes. What are the motivational levers we can use to inspire colleagues to engage with impact for diverse and healthy reasons, and what mix of extrinsic incentives should accompany such a bottom-up and empathic approach to creating an impact culture? Mark defines three elements of an impact culture and asks practical questions that can enable you to characterize the impact culture of your own group, and decide what strengths you can build on and the things you might want to do differently.
In the first episode of Season 3, Mark shares two new definitions he has developed that will enable you to become crystal clear about what impact is (and is not). He then introduces his impact typology from the second edition of The Research Impact handbook, and explains how you can use it as a checklist to identify impact goals for research proposal and to design an evaluation of your impact that captures the full depth and breadth of benefits that arose from your research. Get your copy of The Research Impact Handbook at: www.fasttrackimpact.com/book or view online at www.fasttrackimpact.com/what-is-impact
In this episode, Mark is at the ARMA 2016 conference (Association of Research Managers and Administrators) to hear what leading thinkers think about the future of research impact. He interviews Phillip Ward from the University of Kent who won an ARMA award for his blog, Fundermentals, James Wilson, Professor of Research Policy from the University of Sheffield, and Fiona Collegian, the founder of Piirus, with her colleague Jenny Delasalle, freelance copywriter and librarian, and editor of the Piirus Blog. Read the Fundermentals blog at: http://fundermental.blogspot.co.uk (or follow him on Twitter @frootle)
In this episode, Mark discusses how you can build a network of people who can empower you to have the impacts you want.
In this episode, Mark gives you a sneak peek behind the scenes of his new book, The Research Impact Handbook and tells you how you can write a book in a week. Key points: - Reasons why you might choose to self-publish your next book, rather than going with a traditional academic publisher (or not) - The personal story behind The Research Impact Handbook, including the sentence that breaks a lifetime of silence and shame - How you can write a book in a week by breaking the task down into manageable tasks that can be compiled into a book easily, in just a week - The key is to confront your fear of putting something imperfect into the world and receiving criticism, and start putting out things that are "good enough" and improving and extending your work progressively - what Jeff Ollson calls "the slight edge"
We discussed the findings of a research performed in a kindergarten grade level in a rural school in North Houston area, and the benefits of using a digital portfolio to increase parents' engagement with their children's school activities.
There is growing interest among funding agencies, governments, and society in general to understand the impact of research conducted within academia. However, evaluating research impact is tricky and finding as well as leveraging impact pathways can be daunting without first considering the desired impact early in the research planning process. This is especially relevant when considering sustainability research. We sit down with Master’s student Edward Dickinson to discuss his ongoing thesis research regarding research impact and knowledge dissemination. We provide listeners an overview of how research is funded, conducted and evaluated as well as call on all of us to think more deliberately about the impact of academic research. With this episode, we also celebrate 3000+ downloads of our podcast as well as the end of our first season by reflecting on the significance of the podcast to our Institute and listeners like you.

From the 2016 Plant Biosecurity CRC Science Exchange: New controls are urgently needed to manage Queensland fruit fly (Q-fly) as the long-used cover-sprays for fruit fly control are being withdrawn for regulatory reasons. Q-fly is the most serious insect pest of summer fruits, crops which have a combined value of approximately $260 million per annum. Effective lures/ traps for mature, egg-laying female flies are especially needed as currently available controls which target the egg-laying females are weak. This research will assist in the development of synthetic fruit fly attractant odours and a commercially viable device that traps female Q-fly in the field. Commercialisation of an effective Q-fly lure will deliver significant benefit for Australian growers through improving crop productivity, reducing barriers to export, and assisting in lowering within and between-season fruit fly populations. Speakers: Andrew Finlay; Paul Cunningham
On today’s episode we are going to be looking at the challenges of evaluating research and communicating that information to decision makers. Development programmes and research generate lots of data and information and recommendations but what does that data mean? Was it rigorously obtained? How was it produced? And leading on from that how do we use this information to influence policy and future development programmes to make a bigger impact? Our guests are Megan Lloyd-Laney (@MeganLLoydLaney) of Comms Consult and Dr Tamsin Bradley of the University of Portsmouth. Learn more: http://www.researchtoaction.org/ http://www.whatworks.co.za/
In episode no. 9, we chat about scholarship, conferences, public libraries, and have some book recommendations.
From the 2016 Plant Biosecurity CRC Science Exchange: Invasive pests and pathogens can have devastating and unpredicted impacts on native ecosystems. The threat that Puccinia psidii (myrtle/eucalyptus/guava rust) posed to Australian industries was well recognised, but until its introduction in 2010, there was scant consideration of the impacts this disease may have on endemic Myrtaceous plant species and associated communities in native environments. Since its detection in Australia, the distribution and host range of P. psidii has rapidly expanded and entire species and plant communities are now under threat. The risk myrtle rust poses to threatened Myrtaceae species is becoming more apparent with significant dieback and tree death recorded as a result of repeated infection. The impact of myrtle rust has also significantly affected industries reliant on Myrtaceae including nursery and garden and the developing lemon myrtle industry. The research being undertaken into myrtle rust has enabled improved species selection for production and retail nurseries, and for urban tree planting. It has provided disease screening and assessment methodologies for determining species and plant community impacts and selection of resistant material for industry and environmental benefit. Data collected has identified species at risk of extinction and plant communities in decline as well as identified individuals or populations showing levels of resistance that could be used for future conservation or regeneration programs. The data are also being used for legislative listing of species and as support evidence for declaring myrtle rust a Threatening Process. More broadly it has highlighted the vulnerability of Australian native ecosystems to the threat of invasive pests and pathogens. Speakers: Geoff Pegg and Bob Makinson
From the 2016 Plant Biosecurity CRC Science Exchange: Around the world, grain industries are looking for solutions to the increasing problem of insect resistance to the key fumigant phosphine, a fumigant that underpins the Australian exports of grains. PBCRC has developed and implemented a national phosphine resistance management program that involves: implementation of new and effective national treatment protocols; communication of resistance trends to industry based on substantial sampling across grain production regions; rapid diagnostic results that inform timely management decisions; the development and implementation of phosphine resistance management tactics such as site hygiene practices and ‘break fumigants’ such as sulfuryl fluoride. The PBCRC team is a global leader in the monitoring and management of phosphine resistance in stored grain pests and the national monitoring program has played a key role in assisting the grains industries maintain market access. Speakers: Phil Clamp; Manoj Nayak
From the 2016 Plant Biosecurity CRC Science Exchange: This talk explores the importance of incursion response tools from an end-user perspective, highlighted through a tomato potato psyllid and Candidatus Liberibacter case study. The tomato potato psyllid (TPP) is a tiny sap-sucking insect that feeds on tomato, potato, capsicum, chilli and nightshade plants and can transmit the devastating bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CLso). CLso wreaks havoc on crops causing stunting, distorted and discoloured leaves and stem death. In 2010, TPP/CLso cost New Zealand NZ$50 M per annum in crop losses and NZ$12 M in agrichemicals. TPP has recently been found in Australia. Authors: Jessica Lye; Gabrielle Vivian-Smith; Jessica Dohmen-Vereijssen
There are many factors that motivate researchers. From my years working in higher education communications, I believe that "impact" is one of the key motivators. This impact is measured in several different ways. On episode 57 of FIR on Higher Education, I talk about this topic with Charlie Rapple and Melinda Kenneway, co-founders of Kudos, a web-based service that helps researchers and their institutions and funders maximize the visibility and impact of their published articles.Continue Reading → The post FIR on Higher Education 57: How to Generate Research Impact appeared first on FIR Podcast Network.
As the first 'Dean for Research Impact’ appointed by a UK higher education institution, Professor Greenhalgh summarises prevailing national and international debates about what research impact is; how it should be measured; how to balance the potentially conflicting agendas of ‘economic’ and ’societal’ impact; and how to build capacity at all levels for delivering on both these agendas.'
The talk will reflect on ways in which research can lead to impact and how this can be evidenced. The main focus will be on approaches and strategies for increasing impact with respect to the next REF. Whilst research has always had impact, research impact is still a relatively new concept in REF terms. The talk will reflect on ways in which research can lead to impact and how this can be evidenced. The main focus will be on approaches and strategies for increasing impact with respect to the next REF. Ideally preparations should begin before the research starts but there are also activities that can be added on during and after the research which can increase the potential for impact.
Delivering impact from research has become a central feature of the research policy landscape in the UK and beyond, in this seminar Dr Stephen Hill considers what is meant by ‘research impact’ and examines recent impact case studies.
If we are going to take impact seriously, we need to be clear about the philosophical assumptions underpinning different kinds of research and also the different kinds of links between research, practice and policy.
