Last day sitting at this magnificent desk, but the time has come to put my money where my mouth is and head back into practice. Academia, it's been fun.

FUN FACT: Chillies in Thailand, Coffee in Brazil, Potatoes in Ireland and Cacao in Switzerland are all post-Columbian exchange introductions despite the strong cultural links those countries have with each species🤯

WE'RE BACK! - The Society for Risk Analysis (Au/NZ) Conference is back in 2022 and welcoming abstracts on any/all things #risk: perception, communication, assessment, management, evaluation - particularly in the context of #sustainability. I look forward to seeing you in October!

FMD may set hearts racing, but good biosecurity protects us from at least 16,925 other things as well - we need to shift the narrative to the 30:1 ROI (i.e., net benefit) of action rather than focusing on the past costs and damages of inaction. @CEBRA_UoM pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/an-ou…

The spread of foot-and-mouth disease to Bali was not unexpected, but what we each do next will determine the consequences for Australia. 🔗 unimelb.me/3Qzs5wj #UniMelbPursuit w/ @SciMelb @CEBRA_UoM

Own a pet pig? Did you know that it is illegal to feed them food waste containing meat? Just don't do it - your pigs will thank you! (why from 4:00-) abc.net.au/southeastnsw/p…

New Zealand's system of tracing sheep movements around the country could be a weak link in protecting against foot and mouth disease, according to a biosecurity risk expert. rnz.co.nz/national/progr…

#FMD in Indo, #Varroa in NSW, Myrtle Rust in WA: So much to cover in our @UniMelb MSc/MAg #biosecurity subject - this week 60 students will be reconstructing the spread of serrated tussock and talking to @DAFFgov CEBO Robyn Cleland - plus a few hours of me talking intro pathways!

Lots of talk about the [plausible worst-case] consequences of a hypothetical #FMD outbreak in Australia - but what do the experts that deal with these sorts of diseases every day estimate the likelihood to be, and how did they come up with that number? stockandland.com.au/story/7844411/…

Here's another standard unit of reference to add to your list @Warwick_Long - the Sydney Harbour, the MCG, and Bendigo Coles on a wet Wednesday afternoon. Nice analogy @edwardcholmes @liammannix

The Senator is unavailable for the Country Hour today but... What do you hope a Senate inquiry into biosecurity will deliver? We are speaking about biosecurity more now than ever ... so if you could make a change to how we protect our borders, what would it be?

"The CFA didn't roll out for the first time on Black Saturday" is a phrase I use when talking about the need to exercise and test #biosecurity systems. I caught up with RNZ Country Life to talk #FMD, the ⬆ of M. bovis, and the ⬇ of paper based systems. rnz.co.nz/national/progr…

Australia has a long history of being free from many harmful pests and diseases. Our #biosecurity system aims to keep it that way. Watch this clip by @Science_Academy to learn more about the expert advice CEBRA provides to manage these risks

I was fortunate to be one of the last in a long line of Ag dept. (then DPI) 'cadets' in 2003 - which raised a few eyebrows in my farming family at the time - and it was the beginning of a rewarding career in biosecurity. If you're interested in making difference consider the VPS!
