Science and Marine Parks in New South Wales: the hoodwinking continues.   (October 30/2008)

Bob Kearney, Emeritus Professor of Fisheries, University of Canberra

"A reviewer of the first draft of this talk commented that I had unearthed seriously poor governance of marine parks in NSW. But why expose this in a public seminar? Why not take the matter up directly with the Government? Answering these questions unfortunately requires more detail on my personal activities in relation to this issue than I would normally consider appropriate.

Honours and Post Graduate Quantitative Stats Group

When you did your undergraduate stats subjects, I bet all the data analysis worked out just fine, but in the real world this does not happen. Therefore we have started a quantitative stats group that meets each month to discuss approaches to analysis and to work through real world data. Each month a student presents some of their data for analysis and we all analyse and discuss it with the aid of UC statisticians.

This group will give you new insight into better ways to analyse various data sets. So, if you want to learn more stats in a friendly environment, just turn up at the next meeting or contact Joelle Vandermensbrugghe for more information (Joelle.Vandermensbrugghe).

When: First Friday of each month, 2:30-4.00pm

Where: 11B26
