Title, authors’ names, and abstract from a paper about the cost efficiency and benefits of co-production of knowledge

While knowledge #co-production is often used in science-policy knowledge exchange processes, evidence of costs & benefits are scarce. @deniskarcher.bsky.social‬ et al. provide guidance to researchers to achieve cost efficiency & improved benefits @chriscvitanovic.bsky.social‬ doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...

🚀 New Publication!

"Best bang for your buck: Considerations for cost-efficiency in knowledge co-production"

What's optimal engagement in participatory research?

🔍 We show principles for maximizing efficiency & guiding questions to ensure benefits outweigh costs

I loved analyzing the human data - we discovered that after age 50, blood production shifts to an oligoclonal pattern, and these expansions aren’t driven by CH mutations!

Predicting the Distribution of Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems in the Chagos Archipelago This study aims to map and predict the distribution of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) in the Chagos Archipelago, Indian Ocean, using high- and low-resolution bathymetry data. The models, develope...

Eeek! Here my new paper where we predicted the distribution of #mesophotic #coral ecosystems in the Chagos Archipelago, using #Maxent onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/.... I can now say that MY ENTIRE PHD IS PUBLISHED! @plymbiomarsci.bsky.social @plymuni.bsky.social @iomarinescience.bsky.social

Heat exposure on Western Australian coral reefs is literally off the charts.

24 Degree Heating Weeks now at Ningaloo - the highest ever recorded.

6-8 DHW is lethal for most branching corals.

>20 is catastrophic.

The invisible work of knowledge brokers Critically important for building capacity for knowledge exchange, it's vital we recognise and understand their contributions

📣 New: The 'invisible work' of knowledge brokers - new study explores aims, roles and impacts.

✍️ @chriscvitanovic.bsky.social and @paulcairney.bsky.social discuss implications for practice

Just published - led by @chriscvitanovic.bsky.social we conducted a systematic lit review to identify the top barriers and enablers for knowledge brokers at the interface of environmental science and policy
(..and all the ‘invisible’ work they do) 🔍

Interesting read if you are a manager or scientist working in the science-policy interface.

🌍 Just published: "Knowledge brokers at the interface of environmental science and policy: A review of knowledge and research needs."

We explore how KBs build capacity for evidence-informed decision-making & shine a light on the often 'invisible' work they do.

Thanks Gladys! That's great! It's something that the NESP program we analysed also increased in the national Australian context

Thanks Mark!

Great list - thanks for creating this! I'd also be happy to be added if you think fits

I made a starter pack for transdisciplinary & participatory action research. Please share and let me know who else to add (including yourself, maybe) go.bsky.app/DBBkc6g

Thanks David!

Taking knowledge exchange to practice: A scoping review of practical case studies to identify enablers of success in environmental management A gap exists in the literature on how to implement theories of knowledge exchange (KE) into practice within an environmental management context. To support the improved practice of KE, we conducted a...

Have you ever wondered what enables successful knowledge exchange at the interface of environmental science, policy & management? To address this question, we undertook a global review of the published literature, which is now available online & open access: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
