Additional information:
I have a particular interest in the area of sustainable development. In particular I like to make the connection between community engagement and better decisions and a more sustainable future. I am very interested in how technical experts such as scientists, technicians and engineers can engage the community of interest in conversations in order to inform better decisions on technical questions such as how should we generate our energy? Can we reduce energy water and resource demand and if so how? How can we as a community best respond to the challenge of global warming?
