Podcast appearances and mentions of todd dawson

A quick catch-up with Napier Port’s CEO Todd Dawson reveals never a dull moment. Autonomous trucks and dredging to deepen shipping channels are just some of the things on the back of a strong half-year profit result. Increased container volumes and an earlier pipfruit season has helped boost the numbers. We hear how investors have been rewarded with a special dividend—on top of a higher interim dividend of 4c—and why cruise ships are less keen to come Down Under.

Following the closure of the Tangiwai Mill in the Ruapehu District, forestry company Ernslaw One has found a new way to continue production and keep contractors in work. They've struck a deal with KiwiRail and Napier Port where log trains now run five days a week on the Napier-Palmerston North line, dropping off 600 tonnes of logs to Napier Port. It removes 21 logging trucks off the road. Napier Port CEO Todd Dawson and KiwiRail Executive Manager of Freight Markets Alan Piper unpacked the benefits of this deal.

Napier Port is reporting a slight drop in half year profits, thanks to Cyclone Gabrielle. Net profits have fallen 3.3 percent in the six months ended March compared with a year ago, to $8.7 million. Napier Port CEO Todd Dawson says Cyclone Gabrielle 'took the shine' off what would have otherwise been a solid result for the first half-year. "Napier Port itself didn't suffer too much damage from the cyclone, we were actually up and running within a couple of days of the actual event with the first set of fuel vessels back into the region."

Staying with the after effects of cyclone Gabrielle, freight can once again be moved by rail between Woodville and Hastings after months of disruption. That section of the line, which reopens today, usually carries more than 300 wagons of goods a week. Napier Port chief executive Todd Dawson spoke to Corin Dann.  

Napier's Port has been out of action since 5pm on Monday and will be closed until tomorrow. Shipping will start again when it's safe to do so, with a number of vessels at anchor. A survey of Napier Port's operating assets has revealed only minor damage, with further assessments to take place throughout the coming week. As a lifeline asset Napier Port is providing facilities to the NZ Army on port, enabling them to set up a local base and assist with the region's response. Napier Port has deployed on-port generation to support critical infrastructure, including refrigerated containers. Todd Dawson is the CEO of the port and joins with an update.

Napier Port has repaid all of the Government Covid-19 subsidy it received - a decision it says was the right thing to do. The company has paid back just over $2 million of the wage subsidy it received. This comes as there has been a spotlight on businesses who have collected the wage subsidy, only to later let go of staff and then post a profit. During Wednesday night's leaders' debate, both the National leader Judith Collins and the Labour Leader Jacinda Ardern said it is morally wrong for businesses to collect the subsidy under these circumstances. Judith Collins said she was prepared to make a law change to get money back from companies that didn't need it. Napier Port chief executive, Todd Dawson, told RNZ reporter Jean Bell improved confidence in the port's future led to the decision.

Welcome to Season Two of Food Slain!

Does talking or singing to a newborn really their brain development? This week on Science Today, we chatted with neurologist Mercedes Paredes of the University of California, San Francisco to find out. She says this type of stimulation may affect inhibitory neurons, which keep fine-tuning and shaping infants’ brains during the first couple months of life. "These cells are reaching their target, these brain regions that control the development of motor skills, social skills and language skills. So, I imagine that they might play a role in that. And understanding how they do that will be important for parents knowing, OK, these are the foundations of how the milestones develop." And as far as we’re concerned, talking or singing to newborns is hard to resist! But how about when those babies become adolescents? There may not be as much talking going then as they hole up in their rooms using social media. But how is that affecting their brains? UCLA’s Adriana Galván says there’s still not enough data to determine the impact because the media itself is still relatively new. "And so we don’t have the long-term data over many years to determine what it’s doing to the brain, but certainly we do know that it’s another form of teenagers having more social interactions, having greater reactions emotionally to things that they see on media or read about, but we don’t really know what it’s doing to the brain, yet, but stay tuned - a lot of people are doing that research." Finally, with heavy rainfalls helping quench the parched state of California, there are some questions being raised in the aftermath of drought. UC Berkeley biologist Todd Dawson says in the last couple of years, droughts have killed millions of trees in the Golden State. "Will we have to manage our forests in different ways? So for example, we have to thin some of our forests, so the limited water resources that we have can keep at least some trees alive, but maybe not at the densities that our current forests are at." So Dawson calls for scientists to work more closely with governmental agencies to choose the best environmental strategies, especially when it comes to water. That’s all for now – if you want to hear these and other University of California research stories, subscribe to Science Today on iTunes. I’m Larissa Branin, thanks for listening.

In the last couple of years, droughts have killed millions of trees in California. This has raised some important questions for scientists: “Under the global climatic change that we are experiencing, will we have to manage our forests in different ways? So for example, will we have to thin some of our forests, so the limited water resources that we have can keep at least some trees alive, But maybe not at the densities that our current forests are at." That’s Todd Dawson, a biologist at the University of California, Berkeley. He thinks that scientists need to work closely with governmental agencies to choose the best environmental strategies, especially when it comes to water. “We need to really be paying attention to how we manage our water resources. So how do we regulate how much water goes to agriculture, goes to industry, does to supporting people? And then some of the water that we actually just leave alone because it feeds our forests, it feeds our natural ecosystems." Dawson hopes government will continue to support climate change research, so scientists can better detect and mitigate the negative impact of global warming.

Time to catch up on Science Today stories. First up, environmental scientists are starting to use drone technology to monitor how forests are affected by droughts, particularly those that have been affecting the Golden State’s iconic sequoia trees. Molecular biologist Todd Dawson of UC Berkeley says with drones, researchers can get a more refined picture in areas where there has been a lot of tree mortality. That’s because in a matter of minutes, drones can allow researchers to survey canopies of individual trees and entire forests. "That means we are basically keeping our finger on the pulse of the forest change, which we have never been able to do with any of our other tools before." Next, if you have some pain relievers in your medicine cabinet, you may want to take a closer look at the back of the bottle. The FDA has been putting bigger warning labels on pain relievers like ibuprofen and other drugs known as NSAIDs because of their known risk to increase heart disease and stroke. Researcher Aldrin Gomes of UC Davis, who found that NSAIDs can cause cardiac cells to die after prolonged use, says he’s particularly interested in educating certain age groups about this. "Between 45 and 65, your risk of stroke from natural causes increases. And above 65, it increases even further. And when you add NSAIDs to this at these different age groups, it further increases your risk." So if you’re in this age group, try not to use NSAIDs on a regular basis. And finally, if your mind started to wander during this update, I won’t get offended; that’s because UC Santa Barbara’s Jonathan Schooler, a professor of psychological and brain sciences, told us that there’s some cognitive value to daydreaming. He conducted a study looking specifically at creative scientists and creative writers to see when they have innovative ideas. "What we found is that in both of these groups, about a third of their ideas happened while they’re mind wandering; we also find that the ideas that they have when they’re mind wandering are more likely to be an ‘ah-ha!’ kind of solution. Something where they really were not expecting it and more likely to involve overcoming an impasse." So if you’re not really tuning in to this right now, let’s hope it’s because you just had an ‘ah-ha!’ moment.

This is Science Today. As drone technology is getting cheaper, they’re being used in a host of different ways, including environmental science. Todd Dawson, a molecular biologist at the University of California, Berkeley, is using drones to study how forests get affected by droughts, particularly those that have been affecting the Golden State’s iconic sequoia trees. "We see a lot of trees dying in California but we don't really understand why certain places are dying more than others. And now we are starting to get, with this drone images, a more refined picture in areas where is a lot of tree mortality". In a matter of minutes researchers can survey canopies of individual trees and entire forests, as drones fly over and take images with multi-spectral cameras. "That means we are basically keeping our finger on the pulse of the forest change, which we have never been able to do with any of our other tools before." Dawson says the need to save the trees is urgent, as the drought killed over 60 million of them in California last year alone.
